He also laughed at the iPhone, then years later, the windows phone devices bit the big one. He wasn’t very prescient, it seems.

And now people absolutely distrust and detest Chrome, Firefox is having an identity crisis on its hands, Edge is pretty much dead.
Browsers have gotten interestingly bad.
Edge is pretty much dead.
I honestly don't know why. If you are a Windows user and don't care about privacy, you may just as well stick with Edge. As a Chromium web browser by a megacorp, it's in no way worse than Chrome.
Honestly, not going with chrome means only one massive corp is stealing your data, not two.
I thought Chromium still phoned home to Google
It does, and there's nothing you can do about it either, other than, obviously, switching to an alternative web browser.
All chromium based do, even something like Helium can't remove that?
I mean, edge is a viable option for enterprise. Works with gpos, etc. So easy to roll out and lockdown there.
I still think it's garbage like every chromium browser but that's its big sell.
If company is gonna lock downs extensions and force SSO on us, making Firefox non-viable (not that I'm allowed to install it anyway)... Fuck it edge we go, they have a Microsoft SSO stack anyway, it's not like Microsoft isn't tracking what I'm doing already lmao.
And now people absolutely distrust and detest Chrome
What "people" are you referring to? Because Chrome is the most popular browser, by a landslide.
Both are shit anyway, which we all know here. But normies love their Chrome.
DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS arrrrrrrgrhhhh
Edge is just Chrome with a Microslop skin. They went from crushing Netscape so hard it got open sourced (mostly via monopoly shenanigans) to copying Google's homework. And their attempts at mobile anything has been failure (Windows CE) after failure (Windows Phone) after failure (Windows for ARM).
If it weren't for Office and companies' undying love of Active Directory and Exchange, Microslop would be a memory and little more.
Gee, never held Steve Ballmer as pilar of accuracy.
Monkeyboy said that?

“Developers.”
That was a different coke-fueled rampage. But yes.
Is that the one where he's screaming "I... LOVE... THIS... COMPANYYY!!!" instead? Or was that the same one?
Poor Google, demoralised when another monopoly says it's not going to break into it's monopoly.
But fortunately Google used it's search monopoly to aggressively push Chrome, and now all that data that Microsoft used to scrape, Google now does.
Happy ending for the monopoly.
Lol it only took 17 years to prove hom wrong.
Loooooooooooooooollll
