They built a web browser into my start menu.

Why...

Microsoft: Will somebody please use Edge. Anyone. Please? No, using it to download Firefox doesn't count!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

choco install firefox

I don't think we ever have to touch Edge!

Or winget install

I am here to complain about how bad winget is. Have not tried the alternatives on windows. I assume they arr much better, mostly because it's almost impossible to make them worse.

How did you install chocolatey or downloaded the script to install it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

winget install chocolatey if I remember

[–] wischi 5 points 6 months ago

If you are fine with touching winget to download something, you probably should be fine by touching edge to download something.

This comment and subsequent responses are making me wonder now, if you somehow dug out a 15 year old flash drive with like a Firefox 3 installer on it or something, could you get that up and running and eventually updated to the current version?

It's not like they're the first ones to do it either. Ubuntu did it before them and it was a massive disaster. Miscrosoft couldn't not have noticed it. They've seen what happened, and they went "Yes, that's exactly what we want" anyway.
