[dba-Tech] Goodbye - Firefox?

[Jim Lawrence]

I have had similar issues with Edge. When the Windows 10 started replacing my default applications is when I drew the line. It replaced my default browser with Edge and my default search engine with Bing that is when I scrubbed from my system.

What I didn't like ... some urls didn't work, it was polluted with 
advertising, didn't support extensions, bookmarks & history couldn't be 
synced with android devices, couldn't get rid of the Bing search engine.

Back in December, we announced our intention to adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility for our customers, and less fragmentation of the web for all web developers. Now we're ready to show you what we've been working on, and invite you to come along on our journey.
