But Edge is actually decent, it just lacks addon support.
About time they moved, rolling out your own browser engine is a security nightmare (specially when it's proprietary).
Shame too, Edge is easily the best performing browser I've come across. Wish it had proper addon support.
Who needs to make a joke about that when you can continue the joke that Microsoft can't stick with one browser.
IE-IE12, Edger, and what ever this thing will be called.
It has the capability to support addons, what I meant by addon support was has everything you want/need like Firefox/Chrome.
Just learn a different language, for crying out loud. Electron has done significantly more harm than good as it is.
my beef with Edge isn't 'herp derp IE sucks, edge new IE'
but genuinely, I have seen Edge have nothing but compatibility problems, consistently scoring and performing lower in real-world tests than Firefox/Chrome and I see it crashing on basic sites repeatedly that result in it being unable to be used.
especially working with MSPs and large companies, when any and all applications that use a web interface or web log-ins or any of the sort, without compatibility specifically tested for, Firefox and Chrome almost always still run proprietary and clincal apps fine, and Edge cannot.
Due to the compatibility, IE7/11 is still kept and used whereas Edge is not :p
This is the end of desktop applications. There’s nowhere but JavaScript
Truly the worst timeline.
The only proof of this are some small contributions of Microsoft to Chromium code, and a word of "insider".
I suspect it's more about Chrome support for Windows on ARM than about switching

I really don't like the near-dominance of Blink/WebKit renderers. Who still has their own rendering engine, besides Firefox and a half-dozen "Firefox XX.0 ruined everything" forks? Opera and Vivaldi use Blink. Safari's on WebKit, the thing Blink was forked from.
I really, really don't like the idea of one universal codebase for rendering HTML. We suffered through that in the IE era, when trying to use any other browser broke most sites because bugs in the dominant browser (engine) became de facto standards. Open source might not fix that, especially if each big tech corp makes their own fork.
I work for a company that still uses ActiveX controls.
Chromium and Microsoft.
That will not go well.
At least Windows 10 is still stable.
I took more interest in whatever this was that appeared before the embed loaded since I'd never seen it before:

Near as I can tell it only appears with this article because I checked a few others and couldn't find it.
I'm between activities for the day and a bit bored, this was interesting for about 90 seconds
Anyway, its funny that Edge was the replacement for IE in Windows 10, and now Edge is getting replaced also in Windows 10.
chromium but with the spyware added back in again dohohohoho
iirc that was an article that i was planning on posting here a while ago but i never did. i made the thread but i hadn't hit the post button and i forgot about it. i wonder if that had to do with something
