Microsoft clearly isn’t bothered that it’s automatically starting up Edge on people’s PC and then trying to trick them into importing their Chrome data. That’s not too surprising though since Microsoft has been pulling tricks like this for more than four years now.
Microsoft’s behavior here makes many people distrust Edge, Windows 11, and even the company’s AI efforts.
Moved to MacOS years ago, where the default browser is actually good!
As someone that often ends up doing a lot of web development, Safari is the rough modern equivalent of Internet Explorer.
How so?
I use Firefox most of the time, but if I really need to stretch the battery life I’ll use Safari. It seems significantly faster and more power efficient than anything else I’ve used. If it had better plugin support, it’d be my daily driver. Can’t say I’ve ever had issues with it rendering a page.
Orion is a pretty sick browser letting you run Chrome and Firefox extensions in a WebKit browser. It looks/feels very close to Safari, and though having those extensions sounds super glitchy it’s actually very well-polished.
I’m a web developer but I absolutely love Safari. I seriously don’t understand the hate. From an end-user perspective it’s sooo much less clunky too.
Safari is the only modern browser that still has a broken WebGL implementation
When does that become relevant? I mainly develop web applications so I’ve never directly worked with WebGL.
Mac ain’t that bad, I just wish apple didn’t make repairs hard and stuff.
Edit:Ios and Ipados and Tvos kinda sucks bcs they are very locked down,For some reason mac (Which is unix-like like linux) is not locked down, its only locked down to the hardware thats works with it.
For me, having it locked down is the selling point. I used to be big into jailbreaking but for 90% of users it’s better this way.
For development work though obviously having it not so locked down is kind of necessary. Luckily I don’t write apps from iOS or tvOS so it’s a nonissue for me.
Yeah it is it better for most users, but I started finding that annoying.
I agree with you there, but after being Android and Windows for years, being in the Apple ecosystem feels like a breath of fresh air
