I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.

      It’s just Chromium in disguise anyway.

          It does that? I use Edge with ublock origin and have zero issues.

            uBlock origin might be able to block Edge’s embedded ads, but yes, Edge does that. For example, if you go to the page to download Google Chrome, a banner ad covers the top half of your screen that advertises Edge’s features.

            Even if uBlock fixes this, I don’t know why anyone would want to use a browser that does this in the first place when better Chromium based browsers exist, especially Brave. (I prefer Firefox, but I understand the need to use Chromium instead of Gecko as webpages are generally slightly more reliable).

              Brave and their crypto bs? I wouldn’t touch them.

                In no way to you have to enable that you know. Unlike edge it doesn’t default to on for monetization

                Brave hate over their crypto is super overblown. I don’t, and obviously never would, use any of those features; so I just turn them off. There are a lot of annoying Firefox defaults as well, albeit not as garbage as Brave’s crypto.

                I think its stupid to write off brave because of these optional features, when it is the best Chromium based browser available otherwise.

        I am literally using windows anyway… what difference is the browser gonna do? All internet traffic travels through the OS before it hits the browser.

        I know the linux comments are coming. But i cant use linux.

      Honestly speaking, I’ve used Edge on Windows and have had no issues. It’s a decent browser not taking privacy into consideration. The only thing pissing me off is supporting the Chromium monopoly.

      I’m very glad it works for you. Edge is a perfectly fine browser ever since they ditched their engine and copied Google’s Chrome with a coat of paint and a couple extensions baked in.

      To be frank though, if Edge forking Chromium is the best the tech titan Microsoft can do, I’m genuinely disappointed in them, and I’d rather just use Chromium.

        I think it was a sensible decision to drop their own engine as nobody liked it anyway. Might as well go with a proven one and use your resources on stuff your customers want you to focus on. Since Nadella took over, Microsoft has been very well managed imo and they made a lot of right moves, like their move into cloud computing, embracing open source, integrating linux subsystem on windows, etc…

        Their choice to ditch their IE/edge engine is a symptom of these better managerial choices.

          Hi, I am nobody ;-; I am a dirty casual not caring for privacy too much ( more than every day Mark, quite a lot less tha you folk ) but I absolutely loved Spartan Edge. It was quick, low memory usage and I absolutely loved it. Dropped chrome for it. And…then it was killed ;-;

          Edit: I feel a lot of hate towards Edge comes from people connecting Edge to IE which…couldn’t stray further from truth.

        They haven’t forked it though. They’re actively contributing to Chromium so Chrome users benefit as well.

      I use edge for my work accounts on my work computers. It’s nice to have passwords auto fill and everything integrated through my windows sign on, and be “air gapped” from my personal stuff. I find experience to be basically identical to my home surfing on other chromium-based browsers.

      For real I don’t even mind Edge. I use it for work though and it’s been great for what I need it to do. Firefox is for everything else that’s not work related.
