I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.

    Edge is actually better than Chrome. Don’t @ me. I still prefer Firefox to both and always have.

      I agree. I use Firefox on my personal computer (running Gentoo) and use only Edge on my business notebook.

      Edge was better before, now MS is already adding intrusive info screens and aggressive configurations…

    I will always find it funny that people use Edge to download Chrome because they are essentially using Chrome to download a worse version of Chrome.

    Chrome is the “One of my fuck ton of Firefox addons broke this site but I don’t want to waste time figuring out what one” browser.

      Lol same. I also use it for time critical stuff where you don’t want to risk a site breaking, like when trying to get tickets for good seats on a concert when sale opens.

            uBlock origin might be able to block Edge’s embedded ads, but yes, Edge does that. For example, if you go to the page to download Google Chrome, a banner ad covers the top half of your screen that advertises Edge’s features.

            Even if uBlock fixes this, I don’t know why anyone would want to use a browser that does this in the first place when better Chromium based browsers exist, especially Brave. (I prefer Firefox, but I understand the need to use Chromium instead of Gecko as webpages are generally slightly more reliable).

      I’m very glad it works for you. Edge is a perfectly fine browser ever since they ditched their engine and copied Google’s Chrome with a coat of paint and a couple extensions baked in.

      To be frank though, if Edge forking Chromium is the best the tech titan Microsoft can do, I’m genuinely disappointed in them, and I’d rather just use Chromium.

        I think it was a sensible decision to drop their own engine as nobody liked it anyway. Might as well go with a proven one and use your resources on stuff your customers want you to focus on. Since Nadella took over, Microsoft has been very well managed imo and they made a lot of right moves, like their move into cloud computing, embracing open source, integrating linux subsystem on windows, etc…

        Their choice to ditch their IE/edge engine is a symptom of these better managerial choices.

    Now with googles DRM plans everyone should consider leaving chromium based Browsers.

    The only way to retain the little freedom and privacy that we still have is if we start to care and put in at least a bit of resistance.

          Oh ok so just a simple powershell command:

          Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

          Totally easy to remember
