    This joke was funny when Chrome was superior, but now Edge is actually better.

        I agree. But sometimes your pages won’t load with Firefox. For you and me it’s great. We can get around it. For your parents and grandma’s, it’s a nightmare.

          ive heard of that, but ive never had that happen? stock firefox seems to load everything for me, but maybe its due to spoofing a chrome useragent, or bc i tend to avoid sites like that. librewolf with default setttings, or hardened firefox is admittedly pretty buggy for a lot of websites. i would say brave is an easy upgrade from other chromiums, for family members, but i still think stock firefox is alright for that too

        I’m a WEB UX designer that helps with testing new pages and Firefox sometimes doesn’t render things that all the other browsers can.

        Firefox is great for privacy but shit is buggy.

        Isn’t chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.

        When I see the current version of Edge I’m reminded of those bloatware-packed OEM Windows preinstalls adding useless toolbars to Internet Explorer, except this time it’s a sidebar.

        I’m disappointed, and when asked by people I recommend replacing Edge. Preferably with Firefox, but even Chrome is better.

        It’s like saying Mac OS is just a Linux distro. It’s similar but actually pretty different when it comes to how it manages its memory.
