Microsoft Edge is trying to forcefully get your Chrome tabs again

Microsoft clearly isn’t bothered that it’s automatically starting up Edge on people’s PC and then trying to trick them into importing their Chrome data. That’s not too surprising though since Microsoft has been pulling tricks like this for more than four years now.

Microsoft’s behavior here makes many people distrust Edge, Windows 11, and even the company’s AI efforts.

I’m a web developer but I absolutely love Safari. I seriously don’t understand the hate. From an end-user perspective it’s sooo much less clunky too.

Safari is the only modern browser that still has a broken WebGL implementation

When does that become relevant? I mainly develop web applications so I’ve never directly worked with WebGL.
