If you're using Linux, obviously you wouldn't be using Edge.
Says you, it's pretty good for streaming 1080p content sometimes. For a while it was the only way to get 1080p streams from Netflix on Linux so it does have limited utility.
The man asked the woman how she thinks she is perceived. She answers wrong multiple times and then he lets her know the reality. (I think—I've never seen it).
So in this version of the meme the man asks Edge how it thinks it's perceived and it answers incorrectly.
Edge is not good. It is, at best, ok. It constantly gets in your way with its invasive “features”. And the only parts of it that are good are the parts of it that are Chromium. Use any other better Chromium based browser if you want those.
Is this a compliment to Google? Edge is just chromium with few eye candies, custom settings and original tracking system replaced by Microsoft tracking system.
We know it is a good browser, Google engineers are in general good engineers
I mean... Maybe... Tastes I guess... I don't know, it looks and feel like chrome/chromium to me... Because it is. That are objectively pretty solid browsers. So it is edge, I'd say. I don't see anything notable. Just another flavor of chrome
A project being open source does not mean it isn't owned and controlled by a company. Chromium is entirely controlled by Google. It accepts contributions and fixes from others, but Google has the last say on everything, so it still has lots of Google telemetry.
Second: Microsoft could make the best Jesus Brower that automatically gives me access to heaven and I'd still refuse to use it. Microsoft WILL abuse it, they will fuck over the users and they will use it to destroy any competition when they can, because that is what Microsoft does. It's what they've been doing for the past 30 years and they won't ever stop. Fuck everything about and from Microsoft.
Microsofts shenanigans with forcing you to use their browser is just ridiculous. They do allow you to switch to another browser but make it as annoying as possible and they constantly try to annoy you into switching again. I mean they own the whole os. They could literally just force you to use the browser and I bet nobody would care for like more than a month because windows is like the only feasible choice as an operating system for a lot of people.
Yeah and now they're inching their way into doing it again because fines are just the cost of business. Windows search can't use anything but Edge and Bing for example, and they've deliberately broken the modifications that allow you to work around that, multiple times. They made it much more difficult to switch default browsers, they made it so that if you tried to uninstall it it would come back the next time you updated, etc
It's Chromium in different (Microsoft branded) clothes with whatever gewgaws Microsoft can hang off it for contractual income. Occasionally there's a good reason to use edge over Chromium, but that's limited to shit like "it can stream 1080p content from Netflix" and such. It's not outright bad like ie was but I don't see the reason to use it daily over, say, Chromium.
Edge is good, yeah, but there are way better alternatives out there (privacy speaking). The closest ones being Vivaldi (in terms of features) and Floorp (Firefox fork).
I use Firefox because it came with Ubuntu and because I haven't had any issues with it, but I would've used Vivaldi if it weren't the case.
Me when praising Microsoft and all the other gigant companies for doing their best
Fr tho, if you use it that's fine. Most people here just like Foss (free and open source software), so that's why they're against it probably. I'm one of them. Use Firefox ig.
I think edge is fantastic for the m365 integration. It's absurdly cheap and easy to get your entire business set up with them+so/MFA, office, and email in a secure way. WSL is a great tool as well if you need to live in both technical and office land.
use Firefox, it comes with free fox ears and a tail
Or librewolf! It comes with a free fully featured (🪢) fur suit! Don’t ask me how I know.
and a free bachelor's degree for computer science?
librewolf 🥰🥰
And fennec comes with a maid outfit
Fennec is cool
What do the knots mean?
😳 I uuuhhh… I do not know how to explain what knots mean in this context nor do I have an excuse for knowing that.
Is it a plug tail?
what other kind would it be?
Yes now go download it
Firefox has Foxkeh so firefox is for me
You will take your spyware infused Chromium and you will like it.
Chromium has spyware installed by default.
Microsoft at least removed most of Chromes trackers, while adding their own.
But I'd trust Microsoft a hell of a lot more than Google.
Why?
If you're already using Windows, they track your shit anyway. So Edge it is.
If you're using Linux, obviously you wouldn't be using Edge.
Says you, it's pretty good for streaming 1080p content sometimes. For a while it was the only way to get 1080p streams from Netflix on Linux so it does have limited utility.
Dang guess I learned something today
I'm confused, does this meme think it is a good browser? If so, where's the meme?
The meme is incomplete.
The man asked the woman how she thinks she is perceived. She answers wrong multiple times and then he lets her know the reality. (I think—I've never seen it).
So in this version of the meme the man asks Edge how it thinks it's perceived and it answers incorrectly.
The rest of the meme is implied
It is a statement, not a meme
They're not mutually exclusive.

It was much better than Chrome as a Chromium browser, but then... Well, back to using non-Chromium.
I mean... Maybe... Tastes I guess... I don't know, it looks and feel like chrome/chromium to me... Because it is. That are objectively pretty solid browsers. So it is edge, I'd say. I don't see anything notable. Just another flavor of chrome
Chrome is Google, and it is based on chromium, an open source project
Android is also open source and developed by Google... these aren't mutually exclusive
If you want chromium without Google get 'ungoogled chromium'
A project being open source does not mean it isn't owned and controlled by a company. Chromium is entirely controlled by Google. It accepts contributions and fixes from others, but Google has the last say on everything, so it still has lots of Google telemetry.
Where is the rest of the meme
damn micro soft propaganda got to you 🗿
The Firefox Mafia would like to have a word with you
Haha 😂 I thought this post was a joke.
Wait, you're serious?
🤣🤣🤣
First: it's not
Second: Microsoft could make the best Jesus Brower that automatically gives me access to heaven and I'd still refuse to use it. Microsoft WILL abuse it, they will fuck over the users and they will use it to destroy any competition when they can, because that is what Microsoft does. It's what they've been doing for the past 30 years and they won't ever stop. Fuck everything about and from Microsoft.
damn, I hope you get better soon 😔

They tried that a long while back. They got slapped down hard legally because that's a monopolistic business practice and is illegal.

me when im a dirty liar
I used to love it, but now they keep adding annoying things like Bing chat, Bing chilling, Bing bros
It's annoying having to find these hidden ass settings and disable it. So I just use firefox
It's Chromium in different (Microsoft branded) clothes with whatever gewgaws Microsoft can hang off it for contractual income.

This is the future of ads. Beware
Compared to what?
Internet Explorer
The only two browsers Microsoft pretends to exist.
don't do IE dirty like that :(
lineageOS jelly browser (the one that comes if you have no gapps)
Don't you dare insult Jelly like that! :(
Flithy, flithy lies
Since when did Edge become a good browser?
It's not, that's the joke.
Yeah, I get that now.
It became decent after switching to Chromium.
It is basically Chrome with a Microsoft skin.
Whether or not you like Chrome is up to you, but it is still the biggest browser to date.
Ohhh.. my bad!
Edge is good, yeah, but there are way better alternatives out there (privacy speaking). The closest ones being Vivaldi (in terms of features) and Floorp (Firefox fork).
I use Firefox because it came with Ubuntu and because I haven't had any issues with it, but I would've used Vivaldi if it weren't the case.
Vivaldi mobile is goated for having a bottom bar + tabs.
Vivaldi desktop feels a bit clunky to me, I think edge beats it out in terms of performance and being more lightweight.
I think the joke is most people just use edge to download their actual preferred browser.
That was Internet Explorer, not Edge.

Unironically, edge is fantastic. Especially for work.
Yeah, I also don't want to get anything done, fuck work (just kidding, I like to piss on microsoft)
