Microsoft Edge is worthwhile in 2023
(lemmy.world)
Really. That's your pitch. It's like chrome. Awesome...
Better than IE at least.
Firefox > Chrome > Edge > IE
Exactly. Since users already have Chrome installed, even if it's "Google Chrome at home", it's still solid
You should be flogged with a herring imho
Firefox users are literally screaming right now. This isn't even a unpopular opinion. This is a garbage opinion.
Confirming i am a firefox user and came here to scream
I only have Edge to use Teams in it, because it does not 100% work in Firefox (I'm in Linux).
Counterpoint: When I accidentally run edge, it leaves a search box on my desktop and an icon in the system tray. It got crappier.
Edge would be fine if it weren't spyware and nagware. In functionality it's ... a web browser. In privacy it's a horror. In its proclivity to nag you to perdition its UX is splatterpunk.
Edge is great for Enterprise customers.
All those privacy issues turn into benefits as it falls into your tenant and is covered by your existing contracts and encryption keys.
Profile and password sync becomes useful.
Byod is so much easier when their edge browser supports app management configurations.
The home page and Bing search displays internal results in addition to external through seamless Federated search.
There’s a lot more simple little things that add up to an overall huge improvement over trying to use chrome or Firefox.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
