tech savvy ppl and non-techy ppl both dont like Edge, Bing and copilot
On my work computer I actually use Edge over Chrome since it has vertical tabs by default.
Bing is a better search engine than Google, but both are pale imitations of their former selves. It’s amazing how bad search has gotten in the last ~5 years
if im using chromium, it’s gonna be vivaldi
Can it set the bookmarks bar to only show up on the new tab page yet?
yeah basically any bookmarks you put in your speed dial older show up on the new tab page
ppl
\sigh
I love edge…

Where is Vivaldi?
i like edging
I’m using Edge and Bing right now, on Windows 11
ew
clearly, either ragebait or Microsoft rewards.
Not true in my experience, I would say the majority of windows users I see these days use edge and bing. Most don’t use copilot though
Google is fucking unusable as a search engine now. Bing is literally better now if you block the AI part.
Was searching for something very simple. Google literally wouldn’t find it. Changed the search terms multiple times.
Tried bing and it literally popped up as the first result with the same first search I tried on Google.
This isn’t a one time thing either. Give me an alternate to Bing. But Google is literally hot garbage now.
I’m tech savvy, and I dislike Firefox.
Any particular technical reason?
Past experience where they sucked it up. I used to be a Firefox apostle spreading the good word, then they start getting worse when chrome was getting hot. And it’s been so easy to stay on chrome with no issues over the past 12 years that I haven’t had any inkling to move back. There was a hard minute where Firefox sold out and shared data, sold it, and just wasn’t great.
Isn’t Chrome the one known for sharing data?
I’ve been using primarily LibreWolf for almost a year and have not had any trouble using just Firefox based browsers for over three years. (Before then I needed Chromium for M$ teams occasionally)
Tech savvy people like Duckduckgo, Duckduckgo uses Bing under the hood
We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results.
DDG uses a whole bunch of stuff, including feeding anonymized results through the bing API, but they’ve been largely driven by their own indexes for several years now after using Bing to bootstrap themselves.
I host my own search engine lol.
Ah, finally someone using the European open Search index?
No lol. SearXNG. But would look up what you mentioned
SearXNG is not a search engine. It is a Frontend for everything from Google to bing.
Ik that. I was talking in terms of a layman.
I’m pretty tech savvy, I daily drive Arch and I don’t use Firefox or anything based on Gecko. Meme doesn’t check out.
you might be the only Linux user evee to have nstalled Edge
I didn’t say I use Edge.
i was just kidding around no worries :3
Something about Microsoft UI just feels so off for some reason. Material UI, Apple stuff all feels good to use but clicking on a button in Microsoft UI is just… bad.
It makes me think of Fisher Price toys.
Fisher-Price actually has solidity to it. I’d take that over these pseudomagical plastic sticky notes.
yeah it does really feel plasticky in the worst way
Windows-only users would never know, but people who’ve either used a modern mac or linux computer will understand.
I have Linux on my gaming PC, a Windows laptop at work and regularly work on a Mac to test stuff. I literally don’t see what you people love so much about the Mac UI. “Same but different”, sure, but nothing groundbreaking.
Or windows users that have been around 20 plus years…
Really it is sad just how bad its all gone.
I use Edge on Linux
Hello Satan.
Not OP, but I have been meaning to talk to my Ubuntu admin about Intune on his systems so we can use conditional access on them.
With how difficult it had been to get macs setup, I have a feeling Edge will be the only way it works.
So in enterprise situations…I’d say “Plausible”.
Personally I mostly use Firefox on Linux, but Proxmox gui doesn’t handle that so well…so for that I have an App-isized Ungoogled Chromium window.
Am an admin, funny thing about conditional access, we use various conditions but one is geolocation; we bar all logins outside of three countries relevant to our workers. We employed it mostly due to a continuous low-threat brute force campaign targeting a few exposed accounts that my data analysis had identified. In testing it out from Red Team’s perspective I quickly realized that conditional access will indeed prevent a login outside of the whitelisted countries, but it will gladly let the attacker know that the reason the login failed was due to conditional access and not an incorrect username/password. So all Red Team has to do is brute force the password and then VPN over to our country of operation and they’re in.
