Firefox or Edge?
« on: May 19, 2016, 10:06:43 AM »
And of course I mean the browsers, not supersonic jet fighters or retired WWE Superstars.

After a rocky transition to Windows 10, I can finally use the new Microsoft web browser. Does anybody here use it? I love Firefox, but am willing to give Edge a shot.

I don't use Edge either, I use Firefox mostly, but use Chrome for my Google Apps stuff.

Neither. Legacy Internet Explorer 11.

Chrome is evil and Google sells your data for targeted ads. The browser is great but a) I am anti-everything Google, and b) I don't like how it takes your system (and IE) settings and uses those instead of its own in a lot of places (ie: proxy).

Firefox is huge and clunky, but it's my primary browser at work for ad-blocking and content-blocking extensions. Several popular sites look like shit in it, but for the other reasons above I still use it.

Edge is downright awful. Performance is the drizzling shits. Sites look proper in it, but it's slow as fuck. On dynamic-data-driven sites like Twitter or Facebook it has no chance. It sucks. And that's coming from the Microsoft guy.

I'm happy with Pale Moon, a streamlined, legacy style Firefox browser.

I stuck with IE for years, but there was some issue that got so jacked up I finally went to Firefox.  Don't recall what it was now though.

I like Pale Moon too, it's just the plugins don't always keep up.
