Yes that is your purpose

We don't use that one around here anymore. wget and curl is what we use to download a browser.

I have to do billing on a government (California) website monthly and it will not run on anything but Chrome. It says so at sign in, and it really is true. It’s the shittiest website I’ve ever used.

I feel dirty having it on my computer, and I get mad every time I open the browser.

[marcos@lemmy.world]

It's definitively not lightweight.

It should be as solid as a slightly old version of Chrome.

Where does the meme imply the other browser is a Google product?

[stupidcasey@lemmy.world]

This is almost certainly artificialy restricted User-Agent Switcher to trick the site into thinking it's Google (Not responsible for getting fired) sometimes just blocking JavaScript works, edge even has a compatibility mode to allow it

Imo it was for while after it was released, and even for awhile after it switched to chromium, but it got bloated with extra features really quick over the last few years. Weird sidebars, copilot, coupon-enterring stuff, etc. Granted a lot of that can be disabled, but still, the only new feature I like so far is tab groups. I try to use Firefox as much as I can but use edge from time to time when the website I need insists on a chromium browser or has issues in Firefox.

[shizu@lemmy.world]

Neither.

[ziltoid1991@lemmy.world]

There's even a user-agent switcher for Firefox, and it makes most of the "Google Chrome only" webshites work instantly, if not then Edge still works.

[bytejunk@lemmy.world]

Firefox is already the latest version

[bytejunk@lemmy.world]

Shhh!... Just keep walking and don't look at them, they'll ignore you if you're lucky.

They use arch Linux

Being the reigning monopoly isn't morally worse in a vacuum. The problem is all the skulduggery to get to that position, and to even worse, to keep it.

Did you just say exactly what the parent comment said?

[ziltoid1991@lemmy.world]

Echolalia, echolalia, echolalia...

[noli@lemmy.zip]

In fact, you could use an user agent switcher extension to trick most of those chrome-only sites into working!

[saprophyte@lemmy.world]

Not an uncommon sentiment.

Somehow, some way, Edge has over 30% market share in the US on Windows—and has taken share for over 3 years

Is a big browser throwdown imminent?
