[dba-Tech] Goodbye - Firefox?

[Jim Lawrence]

Hi Gustav:

One very important reason for not using Edge is that its Edge is about to be replaced. I sincerely doubt that, regardless of what attempts will be made to make the product look similar, with the internal components being replaced, it will function in the same way. When they have conformed to the modern standards, will Edge work in the same way with same/different app. It is because of all the problems with the current version of Edge that MS is replacing and rebranding it. It is a practical decision:

If we consider FireFox, Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge and numerous other micro browsers unstable, welcome to the age of computers.

Hi Rocky

Indeed. We use it throughout our office, and I have used it since the very first developer preview beta.
It is beyond me why so many - in the light of what other troubles you may have with a pc - waste time on installing third-party browsers to replace Edge that actually works with zero issues. Typically, Chrome is chosen, to have your complete online history tracked by Google. I don't get it.

I know, that many claims Edge "not to work", but when I have asked for a URL to demonstrate that, I receive none.

However, now when its EdgeHTML engine will be replaced with Chromium, the topic seems moot:

Making the web a better place for everyone. 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.
