Because work approved it and edge. It may suck but it’s not edge.

I’ve never used Edge — is it really that bad?

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It’s not what I wanted. It’s microsoft did a chromium because of course they felt the need to. It adds nothing positive, and they built bad associations by doing a massive ad campaign on it even in windows and by having me associate it with me attempting to search my computer for something only to accidentally wind up in a web search in a browser that isn’t my default firefox.

So is it really that bad? I don’t know but I can’t imagine it’s better than chrome and while I may hate google lately, they still have more of my goodwill than Microsoft does. Chrome at least feels like it has a reason to exist

I use it for most of my work browsing since it integrates with SSO with windows azure AD which is nice. It's not particularly great, and microsoft has added a lot of features that I don't find add any value, but it gets the job done.

Better than Chrome, faster and uses less resources. Has a couple of extra features that are annoying and can be turned off. Mostly fine, I prefer Arc on macOS though.

Edge has its annoying quirks, but it's a world better than anything IE and it's mostly OK. I wouldn't use it on anything that's mine, but for work where it's set as default browser it does the job (until I have to check something on Firefox).

Bing is still utter shite though. Bing for enterprise has that AI result crap taking a full screen and a half before the real search results start, and if you misclick anywhere it'll get right back to the AI results at the top, most of them being not even close to your query.
