This joke was funny when Chrome was superior, but now Edge is actually better.

maybe, but they are both proprietry spyware and chromium based. firefox is better than both

I agree. But sometimes your pages won't load with Firefox. For you and me it's great. We can get around it. For your parents and grandma's, it's a nightmare.

ive heard of that, but ive never had that happen? stock firefox seems to load everything for me, but maybe its due to spoofing a chrome useragent, or bc i tend to avoid sites like that. librewolf with default setttings, or hardened firefox is admittedly pretty buggy for a lot of websites. i would say brave is an easy upgrade from other chromiums, for family members, but i still think stock firefox is alright for that too

Edge is stuff tacked on Chromium. How can it be better?!

Isn't chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.

When I see the current version of Edge I'm reminded of those bloatware-packed OEM Windows preinstalls adding useless toolbars to Internet Explorer, except this time it's a sidebar.

I'm disappointed, and when asked by people I recommend replacing Edge. Preferably with Firefox, but even Chrome is better.

It's like saying Mac OS is just a Linux distro. It's similar but actually pretty different when it comes to how it manages its memory.
