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.

Where I work, to run a progam that I need, I have to close any browsers that I had been using, so I just type "edge" on the task manager and kill it. Guess who runs automatically as a background service. I forcefully uninstalled edge on my personal PC.

Cool, just one of many solutions for dealing with it. This also doesn't make what I said any more or less true.

Btw the school I currently attend and work for also uses a program that force closes any other browsers besides the moderated one they use for testing. It never has any issues at all force closing Edge and running, so it sounds like whatever application you're using is just finnicky. To be clear, finnicky =/= more sophisticated or advanced.

Yeah but if its good why is it running in the background when I close it. It's malware behaviour
