I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn't evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother's high score. Good memories.

Here we go.

I use edge exclusively on Windows and have zero issues

It's just Chromium in disguise anyway.

Are you happy with it? If so, that's all that matters.

[–] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't be very happy if my browser injected ads into webpages.

It does that? I use Edge with ublock origin and have zero issues.

[–] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

uBlock origin might be able to block Edge's embedded ads, but yes, Edge does that. For example, if you go to the page to download Google Chrome, a banner ad covers the top half of your screen that advertises Edge's features.

Even if uBlock fixes this, I don't know why anyone would want to use a browser that does this in the first place when better Chromium based browsers exist, especially Brave. (I prefer Firefox, but I understand the need to use Chromium instead of Gecko as webpages are generally slightly more reliable).

Google search does the same thing of you search for mozilla firefox.. lol

I'm very glad it works for you. Edge is a perfectly fine browser ever since they ditched their engine and copied Google's Chrome with a coat of paint and a couple extensions baked in.

To be frank though, if Edge forking Chromium is the best the tech titan Microsoft can do, I'm genuinely disappointed in them, and I'd rather just use Chromium.

I think it was a sensible decision to drop their own engine as nobody liked it anyway. Might as well go with a proven one and use your resources on stuff your customers want you to focus on. Since Nadella took over, Microsoft has been very well managed imo and they made a lot of right moves, like their move into cloud computing, embracing open source, integrating linux subsystem on windows, etc...

Their choice to ditch their IE/edge engine is a symptom of these better managerial choices.
