Great, now make it uninstall faster.

How fast can it download Linux ISOs?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 6 days ago

Yeah, but it can't run a decent ad blocker. That makes it useless to me.

It’s sad and pathetic that Microsoft gave up on their own rendering engine. Edge is just a chrome clone with a bunch of privacy invading marketing crap stuffed into it.

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 7 points 6 days ago

Well, additional privacy invading crap

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Ignoring the privacy its also rather decent without needing to beg for attention

Nice try RNDAscii().username

I'd recommend some xx(edgelord.dic)xx next time.

"It now takes Microsoft’s browser less than 300 milliseconds to start rendering the first parts of a website for users, whether it’s text, images, or parts of the user interface."

They're bragging about now meeting the minimum standard. LOL.

In the URL you shared the baseline for First Contentful Paint (FCP) is 1800ms, I can't see a minimum of 300ms anywhere.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Time To First Byte 0 to 800ms.

The only time I edge is when the porn's really good.

[–] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Oh boy! Wonder what am i going to do with all the time i saved.

The Edge of who gives a fuck?

Get off chromium and maybe I'll consider you.
