You’re right, Microsoft. I should get Firefox instead

Changing from Edge to Chrome is like changing from Coke to Pepsi for health reasons.

- More like changing from Coke to Coke

  I feel it's more like changing from Coke Classic to New Coke. It's kinda familiar, but leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

- I find edge uses less resources of my computer, I can have it open while on youtube while I game but I can't do that with chrome.

  On my surface go 2 I get a better experience in terms of battery life etc than with edge than the others (I've experimented with chrome and Firefox). So I just use edge on everything for the sync stuff. Sure has a ton of "helpful" stuff in it I have to hide it turn off though.

  Like, ages ago? Google has been called out on their shady shit tons of times, it just doesn't have much of an effect because Chrome isn't as objectively crap as IE was. It works and it's familiar, for most people that's all that really matters. They have "NotHiNg to HidE" after all.

My new job keeps telling me in order to correctly use their website, I need to use edge or chrome.

So far I haven't had any issues except them constantly reminding me in emails.

This makes me wonder what edge and chrome are giving them behind the scenes that Firefox doesn't.

No part of my job has been impacted, but they're so insistent.

- I'm not in IT, but my assumption has always been that someone on the IT side is desperate to keep things simple and is worried about double-checking everything in more than one browser. Or maybe they just don't want help desk calls from tech-illiterate employees who somehow managed to log in from Netscape.

  netscape
  
  There's a name I haven't heard since, ohhh.... Before my nephew was born.
  
  I usually assume that's the case whenever a company says "this browser on a desktop is preferred" but they send me daily personalized emails about it and trying to reinforce "it's very important that you do it this way" that makes me feel like it's something else
  
  If I'm making extra work because forms don't work right or something, they're not telling me that. I still wouldn't download the browsers, but I'd be more empathetic about it (for the guy who has to fix the problems)

Or if you really want fuck with them, Pale Moon.

I've never used chrome, but I'd go back to a microsoft browser before I used it. I've avoided everything google for over a decade.

I read this in a glados voice And it makes it sooo much better.

- I don't mean for this to sting
  
  I forgive you everything, you monster
  
  I can guess the reasons why
  
  You are never coming by for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Pro-tip from a novice: download the chrome installer on another machine and put it in a USB drive, that way you can pretend that edge never existed.

Ah yes. The Michael Scott method.
