    This is relevant only to those with barely half a petri dish worth of sentience, though. All others haven’t used Edge in years. 😉

      At least willingly. Work doesn’t allow us to install Firefox.

        Your employer is whittling IT’s collective sanity with every hour. 🤦🏼‍♂️

    I thought Edge is just the browser people use when a website isnt working in their normal browser, to check if it’s the website that’s broken or the browser.

    Do people use it for other things?

      To download their browser after a fresh install?

        I know this was always the joke about Edge, but even Windows has a command line installer these days:

        winget install mozilla.firefox

      You say that like the “store” version isn’t the exact same as the repo release. 😅🙃
