There are some government websites that only work on edge/internet explorer. Still. In 2023. It’s the only reason I’ve opened edge ever
Chromium should work for that, give it a try
Active x though
winget install firefox
?Lol not even, I just keep FF installer on USB. No Edge, ever.
Windows is next 👎🏻
Hardcore opinion 😏
Github has a lot of stuff meant to be run after a Windows install that removes as much of the bloat and spyware Microsoft puts on it and downloads and installs programs you want.
Seeing comments like this is like seeing a battered spouse make excuses for their abuser’s behavior. Sure, you could do all those workarounds, but why should you have to put up with it?
Have some self-respect, kick Windows to the curb, and get an OS that actually respects your property rights as owner of the computer by actually doing what you want it to do instead of letting a corporation weaponize it against you.
Got any links to repos you recommend?
IIRC I used this one with some of the community scripts. winutil is the one that downloads and installs.
Literally first thing after installing windows (yes I know, I use AutoCAD and I’m stuck) on my new build was nuke edge off my PC.
It’s the only browser we can use in my office, so have gotten pretty used to it. It’s honestly not that bad, they’ve come a long way since the IE days.
It’s not my home-use browser, but it’s absolutely serviceable.
I use MS Edge on my steam deck and phone in addition to my desktop
Don’t diss my porn browser like that.
A lot of people don’t know this, but you can edge yourself while watching porn on any browser.
No one uses Ninite or Chocolatey around here?
I’ve stopped using chocolate with the advent of winget.
Firefox comes pre-installed in my OS :)
using Windows in 2023 (when linux has reached 3%) lol
Just upgraded my hardware so I can play Starfield. And I bought an extra SSD just to dual boot linux. My video card is so new I can’t get the live usb to show any video.
Everyone else in my situation has to use the onboard graphics to install, but I have none. So I tried this time. But I’ve gotta use windows. it just works
What about Librewolf?
Or install through powershell
Downloads Vivaldi for me
I use winget and don’t have to touch edge
This is just a recycled IE meme. Edge is much better than IE, but not as good as FF.
