Microsoft won’t say why this change is limited to EU markets.

    Willingly using Edge on Linux to browse the internet should be classified as a mental disorder.

      I think it’s called Stockholm syndrome.

      I do so. When you start the browser it’s bloated of course, but you can customize it and remove almost everything you don’t like. The browser itself has a lot of its own neat features, so it’s not really just a reskin of chromium. I am tired of pretending it’s only bad.

        Why use proprietary software when we have alternative Free Software that works just as well?

        Yeah, no. That is just wrong. That is akin to saying that IE 6 really was awesome. Get help
