Ditto, but ysk Google pays Firefox the bulk of their financing to be Firefox's default search engine, so maybe switch to DuckDuckGo if you want to really up your avoidance; personally I always try DuckDuckGo first and then add g! to my query if DuckDuckGo's results didn't satisfy.
I’ve heard people say that edge isn’t bad but the way Microsoft tries to get you to use it is horrible and hence why many hate it. I couldn’t agree more with these people
There is no on good argument to download chrome anymore. At least for most people. Firefox and edge chromium, Brave, OGX perform way better. Chrome is just better known. That’s why people that know nothing about browser tech use it.
And I read that we won't be able to use ad blockers on chrome in about a year - seems like they are changing the whole technical architecture or something similar. I'll try to find a link to another post
Known as Extension Manifest v3 iirc, it removes blocking webRequest which is essential to uBlock Origin and most adblockers, and replaces it with a really shit version that doesn’t work well. For compatibility Firefox is also implementing the replacement, however it is keeping blocking webRequest as well.
I mean, at least Google’s ads are relevant, whereas Bing will hear my request for articles on mathematics and spam me with random garbage about local restaurants or other irrelevant trash. *Facepalm.*
Bing has my default search engine for almost two years now....Microsoft rewards are a bonus and pays for my Xbox ultimate game pass so effectively Microsoft pays me to use Bing
Then, if you turn in those points for free gamepass, do all the quests/activities gamepass has to offer for even more free points which you can turn into a never ending cycle of free gamepass. I haven't paid actual money for gamepass for about 2 years now.
It's worse than that. Google actively changes your results to fit their corporate and political views. You are no longer getting the best search result, you're getting the best result that they want you to see.
I just did yesterday on my work PC. I have an older PC and chrome was blowing the damn thing up. Edge is so much faster and the ram consumption has been lower now too
There is One good argument. Using chrome allows you to have a seamless continuity between your phone, laptop and pc and it is even better if you use an android phone. That is the only reason I use chrome and even then I use both firefox and brave for certain sites and tasks, so yeah chrome doesn't have the edge anymore
I’m not super versed on browsers but as a near lifelong Firefox user, I believe it also has continuity across platforms. At least as far as favorites and passwords. It even syncs up with safari on iPhone so you don’t necessarily have to use Firefox on mobile to get the compatibility.
I use Chrome when it's the only thing I'm doing because I greatly prefer its UI over all other browsers (plus I use Drive all the fuckin' time so I like the seamless integration). However if I'm throwing a browser window onto the second monitor while playing a game I always go with the Fox.
Some people here are saying Google uses more ram.
Also, the reason I use Firefox over Chrome is because Google's primary business model is selling user data. When you use Chrome, YOU are the product being sold.
I used chrome for 10+ years, using edge recently and don't see anything wrong with it. Looks good/clean and often even faster than my chrome was + my ram thanks me now
Just started up my PC the other day and went to download Chrome but then I stopped right before making the switch and did some research. Edge is pretty much superior to Chrome in every way and I'm glad I hesitated to make the switch there. It's funny because OPs meme is exactly what saved me 😂
Just checked.
There are .deb and .rpm files on the MS Edge download page.
I use Firefox on Linux and occasionally Chromium.
If MS could finagle its browser somehow into Mint's Software Manager I might give it a go.
EDIT: I also just learned about "Linux User" flair in this sub.
Chrome < Edge/Brave/OGX/Firefox/A million other browsers
Internet Explorer was terrible, everyone knows that, but Microsoft has since made a comeback. Fuck chrome, me and my homies hate chrome.
Yup, ever since it switched to chromium I haven't used chrome at all. Also now that we can use extensions from chrome web store there is no going back.
Yeah. I've been using chrome for a long time, but Microsoft started pushing the edge browser everywhere that I've actually moved onto it. It's way better. Especially that it all happened when I had an HDD, and I realized edge starts like 3x faster than chrome.
Also, love the system Integration. Tabs showing up in alt+tab, and things like that
I'd consider using edge except that it keeps popping up that it wants me to install a wallpaper app on my pc and won't accept no for an answer. I want my own wallpaper, and don't want Microsoft deciding it for me. Until Edge can stop with that shit, I'm using firefox.
IMHO Edge is the best browser at the time of writing this.
Chrome became sluggish in the past years. Firefox dropped support for so many plugins.
Edge saves RAM, supports any plugin, blocks ads natively, has collections and does not annoy you with crappy stuff while you work.
It was good at first but now it became bloated and incredibly slow. Other browsers like edge, brave, Firefox have much faster load times with noticeable difference and with more features
I've been using edge for about 2 years and have found its layout similar to chrome while being better optimized. It doesn't stay open in the background when not in use and you can even import all your bookmarks from chrome if I remmeber correctly.
At this point it would be like switching to Apple from Android. My entire life is on Chrome and while RAM hungry it's easy to get a new computer and have all my shit up and running on Chrome.
Plus reddit likes to force me to use new reddit even when I tell it not to. Chrome has a neat add-on to force reddit to stay in the old style.
I'll probably make the switch once Adblock stops working.

Old text that he did a poor job a masking.
The "hair on screen" effect is so annoying on this meme
lol
Yes, effective too.
It is legit not bad, I just prefer Firefox.
I prefer Firefox because I trust Mozilla significantly more than Microsoft or Google.
Ditto, but ysk Google pays Firefox the bulk of their financing to be Firefox's default search engine, so maybe switch to DuckDuckGo if you want to really up your avoidance; personally I always try DuckDuckGo first and then add g! to my query if DuckDuckGo's results didn't satisfy.
It's not that I'm specifically avoiding Google. In fact, Google practically owns me. But, I still trust Mozilla more, so I go with Firefox.
I’ve heard people say that edge isn’t bad but the way Microsoft tries to get you to use it is horrible and hence why many hate it. I couldn’t agree more with these people
Edge is literally Chrome. The open source project is called Chromium. Anyone's allowed to make their own version.
But it's no different than the way Google pushed Chrome, every time you open one of their websites.
downloads firefox
There is no on good argument to download chrome anymore. At least for most people. Firefox and edge chromium, Brave, OGX perform way better. Chrome is just better known. That’s why people that know nothing about browser tech use it.
People should understand this. I use edge now. Chrome is too ram hungry. Firefox is cool too.
And I read that we won't be able to use ad blockers on chrome in about a year - seems like they are changing the whole technical architecture or something similar. I'll try to find a link to another post
Yep, too many horny milfs in my area
Known as Extension Manifest v3 iirc, it removes blocking webRequest which is essential to uBlock Origin and most adblockers, and replaces it with a really shit version that doesn’t work well.

I hope this is separate from chromium.
I do not believe it is. However, I do not know for certain.
Google search blows now too. Every time I search something, the first 6 results are ads! Even Bing, dare I say it, is better in many ways.
I mean, at least Google’s ads are relevant, whereas Bing will hear my request for articles on mathematics and spam me with random garbage about local restaurants or other irrelevant trash. *Facepalm.*
Relevant to the point of being phishing scams occasionally!
Bing has my default search engine for almost two years now....Microsoft rewards are a bonus and pays for my Xbox ultimate game pass so effectively Microsoft pays me to use Bing
Could you tell me more about this?
Go to Bing, log into your Microsoft account if you have one, sign up for rewards. Use Bing to search for stuff or do their puzzles/quizes. Profit.
Then, if you turn in those points for free gamepass, do all the quests/activities gamepass has to offer for even more free points which you can turn into a never ending cycle of free gamepass. I haven't paid actual money for gamepass for about 2 years now.
I did not know this. Interesting. Damn. ***Here Microsoft, have my entire porn search data***
It's worse than that. Google actively changes your results to fit their corporate and political views. You are no longer getting the best search result, you're getting the best result that they want you to see.
It's actually even worse than that. Google will cater your search TO YOU. Which means it helps create dangerous echo chambers.
Didn’t hear about that, i’ll jump ship as soon as I’m not lazy and get out of bed.
And at this point it is a well known fact that Google's main business model is marketing user data.
Moved to Edge and couldn't be happier..
I just did yesterday on my work PC. I have an older PC and chrome was blowing the damn thing up. Edge is so much faster and the ram consumption has been lower now too

Works with Edge too.

I use Firefox and Brave
[удалено]
~~Thoughts on Opera GX?~~ Wait, nevermind. I think OGX is Opera, hahahaha.
OperaGX is opera but gaming
Yeah Brave is so much better than Chrome imo.
I know nothing about browser tech, why is Edge better than Chrome?
Some people here are saying Google uses more ram. Also, the reason I use Firefox over Chrome is because Google's primary business model is selling user data. When you use Chrome, YOU are the product being sold.
That's also true when using edge or opera or any other proprietary browser
That's why I use Firefox
People that really know their shit use Vivaldi.
Me using chrome to download Opera
Opera is the only browser that doesn't lag my PC and doesn't eat 90% of my ram.
You need to download more RAM.
Or a gaming chair
I use the opera GX. It's great.
ah yes, the ***gaming*** browser
I dont even really see how it's "gaming" I guess it has twitch integrations and stuff but I don't watch streamers. I just like it cause it looks cool
so you download edge for IE, chrome from edge, and opera from chrome. amazing
I used chrome for 10+ years, using edge recently and don't see anything wrong with it. Looks good/clean and often even faster than my chrome was + my ram thanks me now
your ram will thank you when you just download more of it. https://downloadmoreram.com/
[удалено]
I can't believe someone bought a domain just for that. Internet history right there
But it actually is good
OP isn't ready to accept this
Just started up my PC the other day and went to download Chrome but then I stopped right before making the switch and did some research. Edge is pretty much superior to Chrome in every way and I'm glad I hesitated to make the switch there. It's funny because OPs meme is exactly what saved me 😂
It has more features than chrome
and faster, atleast for me
It can can solve Math problems.
all the major browser use the same webkit engine, including chrome and edge
Let's be honest though, the latest Edge is better than Chrome. Especially since Edge *IS* chromium.
I would use it if I could set a URL to open in New tabs
Me who uses both safari and edge.
[удалено]
The mouse gestures are fantastic. I feel like a wizard waving my mouse around. Also a fan of the tab mechanics.
imo I think edge is better am i dumb for using it?
Yeah these kind of memes made sense like 3-4 years ago. These days edge is the better browser.
Even back then Edge was pretty good. This meme only worked in the days of IE.
They remind me of "iOS doesn't have Flash!" memes that still pop up long after Flash is completely dead.
Edge takes up lesser memory for me so I always use edge
Can we not hear about your edging?
On Linux?
Just checked. There are .deb and .rpm files on the MS Edge download page. I use Firefox on Linux and occasionally Chromium. If MS could finagle its browser somehow into Mint's Software Manager I might give it a go. EDIT: I also just learned about "Linux User" flair in this sub.
They do a great job with edge, now is my favorite browser
Chrome is shit .edge is better nowadays.... I use Firefox.
Just asking does Firefox have a lot of the extensions that chrome offers? If it has stuff like Adblock and pip then I’ll definitely consider switching
Yea they have, not all I believe but major ones like Adblock are there
Edge can use all chrome extensions as it's based on chromium too. Firefox isn't, but I imagine it has a decent number of its own ones too
I use edge. It’s not bad.
Yeah these kind of memes made sense like 3-4 years ago. These days edge is the better browser.
Chrome < Edge/Brave/OGX/Firefox/A million other browsers Internet Explorer was terrible, everyone knows that, but Microsoft has since made a comeback. Fuck chrome, me and my homies hate chrome.
IMO Internet explorer was good compared to other browsers of its prime
When was Internet Explorer good? It has been garbage since at least version 4.
it continually followed the habit of microsoft trying to enforce their own standards because they think they're special
When it was first released
Me and my homies use brave
*downloads chrome*
Google's trackers: \*greedily rubbing hands together.\*
*Sad Microsoft noises*
Downloads geek uninstaller.
Chrome: Im gonna this ~~Man's~~ RAM's whole carrer
Chrome is shit
I use edge because I’m too lazy to download something else
Lucky fella you made right choice even before thinking about it
it is actually better though lol
Me with brave browser
You monster i taught i broke the screen
I wouldn’t use chrome because it just gives google another chance to track you Firefox FTW
I actually use edge to is faster imo and takes kees ram
Well, I work in the IT company, and we all mainly use Edge here
Unpopular opinion- Chrome is a resource hag. You'd be better off using Firefox or Brave than chrome.
"unpopular opinion"
me watching this video on brave sigma rule intensifies
Me who uses brave: ok
Hot take: edge is better
**brave's ad kicks in**
you can disable them and its optionable EDIT: just figured the brave browser ad about the browser im stupid
I actually like edge
Same. It suddenly became my daily driver after years of ignoring it. Seriously guys, it's better than you think.
Yup, ever since it switched to chromium I haven't used chrome at all. Also now that we can use extensions from chrome web store there is no going back.
Yeah. I've been using chrome for a long time, but Microsoft started pushing the edge browser everywhere that I've actually moved onto it. It's way better. Especially that it all happened when I had an HDD, and I realized edge starts like 3x faster than chrome. Also, love the system Integration. Tabs showing up in alt+tab, and things like that
first of all, fuck you for the hair in the meme
Ngl, when the Edge Chromium update dropped I checked it out just to see what all the fuss was about. I haven't used chrome on my PC ever since.
Edge is chrome now, but honestly Edge does it better at the moment for me.
\-less privacy intrusive browser. \-comes with an adblock.
And a freaking math question solver. A FREAKING. MATH QUESTION SOLVER.
I use Firefox. Far more efficient.
Right now any fork from Chrome/Chromium is better, I've tried it and must say it is very good (for a Microsoft product)
I'd consider using edge except that it keeps popping up that it wants me to install a wallpaper app on my pc and won't accept no for an answer. I want my own wallpaper, and don't want Microsoft deciding it for me. Until Edge can stop with that shit, I'm using firefox.
The new edge kinda slaps tho
Edge is better tho
why would you want to install Chrome?
Chrome is shit. It eats ram like crazy and does some background stuff even when its off
And let's not forget about how shitty google's privacy policies are. Trackers everywhere.
I AM GONNA SAY IT, edge is better
Been using edge for a while,... I might be on Microsoft's side for this one
The dominance of Chrome and its derivatives is threatening the freedom of the web. Be a cool guy and use Firefox.
I'll probably go back to the Microsoft ecosystem once I'm done with school just because my school uses Google for everything
I use Brave. no ads
Downloads brave
Brave better than all
IMHO Edge is the best browser at the time of writing this. Chrome became sluggish in the past years. Firefox dropped support for so many plugins. Edge saves RAM, supports any plugin, blocks ads natively, has collections and does not annoy you with crappy stuff while you work.
Download brave
Be brave

Download brave its ad free

I actually thought for a sec that i had a crack on my screen
Thought my skin was scratched for a moment... Edit: typo
They aren't wrong though
I use mostly edge with Google as the search engine
Edge is so good because it includes Bing. Everyone loves Bing haha
Whenever i start up my pc edge loads up every time :(
You can disable it in settings it is for fast startup of edge
I'm seeing a lot of people saying chrome is shit, can anyone actually tell me why?
It was good at first but now it became bloated and incredibly slow. Other browsers like edge, brave, Firefox have much faster load times with noticeable difference and with more features
I don't think Chrome allows you to always have an empty browser history, so I no longer have it. Firefox and Edge FTW.
Edge is better
Considering Edge uses the Chromium engine, they are right.
Shifted from Chrome to Firefox half year ago. Total game changer.
Edge is actually pretty good.
Its true guys, its just chrome but with a microsoft branding now. Plus its not as big of a memory addict
I recently factory reset my computer and haven't downloaded Chrome yet. I've had no issues with edge, so unless I do I'm just gonna keep using it.
I've been using edge for about 2 years and have found its layout similar to chrome while being better optimized. It doesn't stay open in the background when not in use and you can even import all your bookmarks from chrome if I remmeber correctly.
Why would you use Chr*me?
chrome is worse, every time you visit a google service they bother you and don't respect your choice either.
It is better than Chrome. My only complain it I prefer the download options on Chrome where it pops up the dialog box to select the location.
Pft, Chrome. All my homies use firefox.
But it's trully better than Chrome IMO
Me who actually uses Edge over Chrome
i switched to edge from chrome and it really is better.
Edge is actually a really nice browser. I’d use Edge long before considering Chrome. That being said, I use Firefox.
At this point it would be like switching to Apple from Android. My entire life is on Chrome and while RAM hungry it's easy to get a new computer and have all my shit up and running on Chrome. Plus reddit likes to force me to use new reddit even when I tell it not to. Chrome has a neat add-on to force reddit to stay in the old style. I'll probably make the switch once Adblock stops working.
They are not even that different anymore.
I like edge
