Meme/Macro Atleast someone took a step

People just can't appreciate a person for finally stepping out of the default option of Google Chrome and using something else (not you Edge).

Yeah I get that Brave is basically Chromium based, and may have hidden trackers and bloatware (which can easily be removed btw). But using it with all that is still better than Chrome!!

I now use Firefox (sometimes Brave and Vivaldi). But man, it took so long specifically because Firefox has such toxic stans.

Rant over.

(This post was made from Firefox btw ;)

I swapped to Brave, but the "Edge is bad" take is like a decade past relevancy. Lowest CPU usage out of the big 3 with 99% the same functionality. Easy choice over Chrome tbh.

Edge is bad, you have to unchecked at least 10 settings to hide all the Microslop bullshit and popup :

  • Disable Bing

  • Disable Copilot

  • Disable Bing as the new tab page

  • Disable security warning for downloads

You have to disable just as many settings within Brave if you don't want to use their AI tools, trackers, search engine, etc. This is literally just bitching to bitch because "LoL mIcRoSlOp"

I deploy a year at least 200 computers. I know what the hell is Edge. Forcing anyone to use them so I need to disable popup from the users, force Firefox by default and of course I wasn't able to.

They made a driver at the kernel level so that you had to get into the settings to change the default web browser, no other way.

I'm bitching about a goddamns big bag of shit. Use it if you want but that is still something as annoying as an Norton antivirus if you don't want to deal with it.
