The biggest problem I have with having to use Edge at my work is how it pushes bing (obviously) as the default search engine.

I swear it only becomes worse with time. Every query is now answered with that awful AI that is never, never on point. Seriously, it just pulls a bunch of random questions only vaguely related to your request and decides to list answers to those instead.

Of course this shit takes a whole screen before the actual search results show up. And at the bottom, just where all decent search engines put a "next page" button, instead they put a shortcut... to the AI crap again, back at the top of the page.

Yup. Coming from the company that brought you IE6 and ActiveX.

"But their cloud push is actually making their services available to more OS's, they're changing" some people said.

Bah

Well sure, that’s true. How do you know that edge isn’t privacy friendly? What about the carpenter who just wants to use their computer to pay bills and google stuff? What about the old folks who don’t know how to install something? What about the people who just don’t enjoy using a computer and haven’t had the opportunity to learn about it?

They’re no more stupid than you would be if you were using a cooking utensil the wrong way because you never learned the appropriate way to use it. Or if you use the space below your oven as storage for pans and cookie sheets instead of correctly using it as a broiler. Or maybe you have one that actually is storage. I wouldn’t know, because I cook simple meals and I’m fine with that. It doesn’t make me stupid. Nobody can know everything.

Here’s a relevant xkcd: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ten_thousand.png

It does, if you need to use the online Microsoft Services. Because In Firefox it sometimes is just not working for me. And I don't want to spend the time to figured out what the problem light be.
