You’re right, Microsoft. I should get Firefox instead
y knot Firefox?
ye when’s the day ppl start making fun of chrome too for all the crap they’re pulling
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)
No disassemble chat gpt edge alive!
Ah yes. The Michael Scott method.
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.
Changing from Edge to Chrome is like changing from Coke to Pepsi for health reasons.
