Who the fuck even uses Edge?
The only reason I even have it installed is to test websites (developer).
As a sysadmin in a Microsoft shop, it has a lot of management features that I like. Users generally love Chrome and hate Firefox (for some reason, I dunno) so Edge was a good compromise while it still supported ublock.
as far as a chromium skin goes, it's far better than chrome - especially with tab grouping, vertical tabs, and profile link handling.
Think about all offices, businesses and personal computers of people who don't deeply know about computers
I was kinda more referencing people on Lemmy. I know there are a lot of people that are clueless. I have several users that use Edge and it's a constant battle.
For some reason, the asshats in my company are pushing for it as default
🤮
🤮 indeed
Normies too lazy to install something different.
Normies don't use adblockers though. So this doesn't change a thing, lol.
Hence why normies use Edge, they didn't change a thing.
