God damn kids these days.

Internet Explorer was bad, give me internet points.

Bring back NSAPI plugins!

I miss visiting random dubious websites, only for a command prompt to pop up and disappear, and then sudden CPU and network spikes as it does god knows what...

Bring back anti-trust lawsuits, while we're on the topic of cool things that aren't done anymore

They are! There are US antitrust cases going on right now against Google (x2), Amazon, and Meta/Facebook. Some links that may be of interest:

I'm an edgy corporate fuckboy, give Internet points!

The funny thing is: Edge isn't actually a bad browser. It's basically Chrome with custom Microsoft UI. So it behaves like pretty much all other browsers except Firefox.

Not only UI, but also trackers by microsoft. Btw no I wouldnt say chrome is a good one either

[-] Xelnoc@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

hence bad

Except they force side buttons and other crap onto it.

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Just started it for you, since I'm on my work device which runs Windows.

What exactly do you mean? Looks like a plain browser window to me.

I had to disable some outlook sync feature a while ago that opened on every new tab, otherwise it's been fine.

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yep. It is very integrated into the OS. Since it is the OS default browser released by the same company as the OS this is no surprise.

As a tech-savvy user one can configure it to their use case. Everyone else can simply use it as it is and they will be fine most of the time.

[-] Sheeple@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You can disable those

[-] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 1 points 1 year ago

I know, but it's like all windows crapware, "you can disable them" yeah that sucks because from time to time it's Kazoing back after a reboot...

[-] Johanno@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Firefox good, Steam deck good, unity bad!
