    “Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft”

    Wow. If there ever was a reason to run, this is it.

      To Firefox, sure. But if you’re on Windows and your preferred alternative is Chrome you really might as well stay with Edge and benefit from the integration into Microsoft’s ecosystem. Either way your data is being harvested.

        That’s what MS would love to be the reason. Integration with the ecosystem. I still remember the nightmare IE6 was.

          I remember that nightmare vividly, my old company was using that piece of absolute garbage up until 2017 or so, until all the critical crap that had it as a hard requirement was replaced.

            Indeed. I did web development at the time and I distinctly remember nightmares of doing things by the book and then having to spend 30% more time to make the whole thing work on IE. Sometimes you had to address IE6 and 7 separately. No amount of Microsoft PR these days can’t save them from hatred I have accumulated back then.

      Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number.

      I learned that in school.
