[dba-Tech] Edge

I actually had a residential client that had a Windows 98 PC with IE looking similar to that picture! I couldn't believe it! 

But it was fun watching (whatever crapware utility I was using then) them all get wiped out 😊 

When I showed him what the internet really look slike, the guy actually asked: "didn't I need all of that stuff?". Wow.

I'm alive and kicking (albeit mostly out of frustration).

Hi John:

I fully agree with you. :-)

And yet, not a one of those can pull off task the way Internet Explorer could:

Hi Susan:

To my understanding Microsoft has removed the original Edge engine and much of the code from Edge and replaced it with code from Google's chrome. Edge will now be one of a dozen browsers that are now built on top of Chrome like Brave, Opera, Vivaldi etc.

Edge started out to be a reasonable browser. The real problem is that sites won't support it, so stuff doesn't work. I also find it a bit slower than the others. 

I thought MS had pulled the plug in Edge... wonder where I got that idea.

Hi Jim

I'm always very serious. But I don't do Linux ...

Hi Gustav:

You are saying this, touch-in-cheek, right? ;-)

Hi Jim

It already exists for iPhone and Android, so probably no big task:

It's about time Linux gets a decent browser as well.

Believe it or not, Microsoft is planning on bringing Edge to Linux.(?)
