Eh, kinda dated, I would rather use edge than Google, of course fire fox is the goat
Where does the meme imply the other browser is a Google product?
Edge is Chrome(ium). Even if it wasn't, it's still... Microsoft lmao
I just don't see a difference between the two anymore except Google is the current reigning Monopoly so it's morally worse.
Being the reigning monopoly isn't morally worse in a vacuum. The problem is all the skulduggery to get to that position, and to even worse, to keep it.
Edge is a fork. It's not a full copy of chrome. For instance, they let you put the tabs on the sidebar.
Do you want to give your data to Microsoft or Google?
Neither.
I have to do billing on a government (California) website monthly and it will not run on anything but Chrome. It says so at sign in, and it really is true. It’s the shittiest website I’ve ever used.
I feel dirty having it on my computer, and I get mad every time I open the browser.
This is almost certainly artificialy restricted you can use a User-Agent Switcher to trick the site into thinking it's Google (Not responsible for getting fired) sometimes just blocking JavaScript works, edge even has a compatibility mode to allow it
There's even a user-agent switcher for Firefox, and it makes most of the "Google Chrome only" webshites work instantly, if not then Edge still works.
Did you just say exactly what the parent comment said?
In fact, you could use an user agent switcher extension to trick most of those chrome-only sites into working!
Did you just restate the parent comment exactly?
Echolalia, echolalia, echolalia...
I think he basically just said what the parent comment directly above him said.
Not an uncommon sentiment.
