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

    Well, on that one, he's right.

    We are everywhere, we are growing everyday, I don't see what can stop that from now on.

    Even Microsoft is open sourcing their shit. Azure is more than 50% Linux.

    Fucking Microsoft has a Linux distro now!

    We are cancer, resistance is futile something something waves hand

    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.

    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.

    What "people" are you referring to? Because Chrome is the most popular browser, by a landslide.

    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.

    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.
