It’s never accidental…
You click a link in an MS app and it launches Edge regardless of the default browser setting, then plays it off as a “feature”.
Every. Fucking. Time.
I love this meme but have no proper nerds in my life that would understand and appreciate it.
That’s why we hang out on Lemmy
Edge after you install a security update:
“I imported all your data and made myself the default”
Windows: “Oh you want to open a PDF? You must want to use an MS Web Browser.”
User: “No Thank you Windows, please use app X”
Windows: “I got you fam, app X for PDFs from now on”
…later…
Windows: “Oh you want to open a PDF? You must want to use an MS Web Browser.”
Been using edge mostly because it’s the default supporter browser for work apps and actually works really well.
Whatever it does, it is good at it
I mean, it’s a web browser, what did you expect?
Haters gonna hate. But I’ve been using Edge for a year now as my main browser and I prefer it over Google’s browser. Yes, it was built on the Chromium open-source project. But the end result is what I was after. Something that wasn’t just Google’s ‘X.’ Industry competition is very much needed.
Everyone gets to have their preference. What’s not ok is MS trying to force it on people who don’t want it.

Like all MS products today, it’s actually really good after wasting an hour unchecking all the hidden options that make it unbearable spyware.
And then check peridoically for new options that you have to turn off…
And the old settings that have been mysteriously switched back on…
