Fuck no, I'm not particularly a fan of how it forces itself on you like Brock Turner (the rapist).

It can go and join IE in whatever pit of hell we threw IE in

If you wanna say that Chrome is trash and people should use Firefox, Opera, Safari or whatever else is currently trending among privacy focused people that I can agree with (Even if I personally won't make the switch)

But Edge is NOT the answer, Edge is NEVER the answer. At this point I'm starting to wonder if all these Edge people in here are being paid by MS

There are some things from reddit I hope never come over here, but shitting on the rapist Brock Turner is always welcome in my books.

Welcome to the boat, I tried edge from all the people recommending it on reddit and I hate it

And the rapist analogy is not enough for how bad it is, it'll copy everything from your default browser without your permission (or I somehow missed it)

Like I was caught by surprise when all my bookmarks, passwords, etc were just straight up copied by that privacy intruding piece of crap.

Fuck edge

Definitely missed it. It doesn’t grab everything without permission, but probably wants to stay out of the way so you do pull it all in

Edge is probably my favourite chromium browser. Seems like you care too much.
