Oh yes. Just because it’s for Microsoft doesn’t change Edges purpose.
Hell, it’s the foremost premise for every newer OS they’ve released, browser included.
There’s a reason Microsoft is just “giving upgrades away for free.”
That’s fine but the point of the post is that you have to use a non chromium browser to avoid wei. Once it’s implemented it’s likely that edge and others will have to implement it too.
It would be a monumental effort for smaller browsers to keep chromium extensions working, while the rest of the ecosystem moves to the new APIs. The only way that could work is if they all fork chromium and base their browsers on this new fork, and even then it’s not guaranteed to develop a real ecosystem of plugins since chrome has more users than all of those other chromium browsers combined.
So yeah you have to use Firefox if you want to avoid that, at least for now.
How is there no way? Yes, there is. Google implements it in the original, websites start requiring it, all of those browsers that didn’t implement it will be denied from access to websites. The end.
If Google does push web DRM through, edge will surely adopt it. The best time to switch is now and there will no second best time if they actually do it.
As Chromium monopolizes the market they’re able to push anti-user updates because sites don’t care. It’s down to Firefox or Chromium-based browsers. Firefox is basically the only thing that’s kept Chrome from straight up removing adblocking capability and the like.
Correct. We would not even be here if corporations could be trusted. Everyone needs to get this somehow. Federation (open source project development is kind of federated as well) is the key. Actually, we‘re having the same oppressive authoritarianism that gave birth to federated states. Looks like a pattern.
Have you tried the one recently implemented in Firefox? I’m not sure about Edge, but it’s much better than Chrome’s. I rarely have to use anything else.
I don’t care what browser you use
Also I like Edge. It works great and Google can kiss my butt
Edge is based off chromium, same “engine” that powers Chrome. As most browsers are.
Yeah, it’s basically chrome without the bloat, less spying, and without the prohibition on ad blockers
Are we talking about the same browser?
Edge has all of those things in spades.
It spies for someone else though
Yeah, great alternative /s
Not really.
Rage bait?

Don’t need that if you make the OS.

Thats what you get when you don’t care about single entities controlling the market.

No, actually you are kissing googles but every day.

Correct. The real problem is allowing monopolies in the first place.
How big is your truck?
Microsoft is at least as bad as Google and has been for quite a bit longer.

Edge does have a nice pdf reader
The proverbial ice cram sticker on the windowless truck.

Not much, but I don’t see a full markup feature. That’s what I really like about edge.
