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

choco install firefox

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

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

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?
