I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn't evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother's high score. Good memories.

I will always find it funny that people use Edge to download Chrome because they are essentially using Chrome to download a worse version of Chrome.
I keep finding less and less ms products that are even palatable...
I understand where you're coming from (there is a reason I'm a Linux user) but Edge isn't that bad of a browser. Obviously, browsers like Brave, Opera and Firefox are better but, at least from my experience, Chrome is significantly worse than Edge.
Fair, I just continue to loath ms products more and more. If it wasn't for works outlook I'd steer clear.
Interesting. In what ways is Chrome worse than Edge? I have to admit, I haven't given Edge much of a chance. I primarily use Firefox, except for work things (we use Google apps at work) which I've been told to use Chrome for.
I can't think of Edge without imagining it as some sort of unkillable Internet Explorer zombie that just won't die. Is it actually better than Chrome?
On top of have more built-in privacy features, Edge is both faster and more stable than Chrome. For me, Chrome has almost always been very slow and unstable, while other Chromium based browsers like Edge, Brave, and Opera have never given me performance and stability issues. It's actually kind of bizarre to me that most benchmark tests that I've seen online say that Chrome is the fastest when I've only every seen the exact opposite.
Also, the dev team that works on Edge is not actually directly associated with Microsoft. This is the reason why Edge isn't exclusive to Windows. The only reason people don't give it a chance is because they, like you, just automatically assume it's just a reskinned IE.
Edit: Can whoever it was that gave me a downvote explain why? I've made similar comments on Reddit that also get downvotes and I've never understood why. Like, I'm sorry that Chrome works perfectly fine for you but runs like shit for me, I guess.
Thanks!
I might give Edge another look. Our work corporate standard machines are MacOS and Chrome, and a heavy sprinkling of Google Apps. I might give it a go on my home stuff, though.
I used to like Opera until it went Chromium. The performance seemed to tank after that, and it was using waaay more memory than before.
As a daily Edge user of choice:
I do have to say I don't know too much about differences because once I tested Edge i simply ditched chrome from the get go and never felt need to return to it. Shit chrome does Edge does too and sometimes even better, so yeah.
Also, Edge doesn't have really anything in connection to IE.
