#119484 — Chromium Edge

I noticed that today's Win10 update replaced MS Edge with Chromium Edge. 
They took a long time to do that.

You were just late to the garbage !  Bing is still default and haven't
been able to change home page, yet.

It doesn't matter to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just as bad as 
the old Edge, and I never use it unless some site doesn't work in FireFox.

I almost always use Firefox. If that doesn't work, I try Chromium (opera 
used to be good, now it's not much more than an old version of 
Chromium). I almost never use Edg, just noticing what happened.

Jack Sprat etc
I have no problem with Chrome Edge. It is quite fast on my desktop, but I
use Firefox as it has the ability to open tabs with left-click-only. So
Edge is my 'other' browser.
On the other hand Edge is my default browser on my android phone mainly
because of its GUI.
AND I prefer Bing as my searcher (and home page)

You could've downloaded it yourself to install the Chromium-based Edge.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

According to web.archive.org, Microsoft has offered the "new" Edge since
mid-January 2020.

Of course, you could install Google's Chrome.  I've had it for awhile as
my secondary web browser.  Firefox is my primary web browser.

You can install all three Microsoft browsers side by side simultaneously:

Changed your nym again? If anyone here doesn't know it, that's standard 
practice of trolls, to escape from people's killfiles.

But it doesn't bother me. I can, and do, add the new nym to my killfile 
faster than he can change it.

Hi Ken Blake,
Did you notice I ignore you when you don't infest the threads I author?
o It's when you infest threads that I care about that I respond to you.

I care that people can run all three Microsoft browsers (if they want).
o <https://i.postimg.cc/PrcV1pXF/browser06.jpg>

I wasn't gonna respond to the worthless piece of shit Ken Blake given:
a) Ken Blake has _never_ once added value to this newsgroup (ever!)
b) Hence, I WELCOME Ken Blake plonking me (the less he posts, the better!)
and
c. If Ken can't figure out my posts instantly, then he's an utter moron.
d. Morons like Ken Blake can't even figure out how to write a regexp.

However, I just updated the tutorial after many hours of testing, 
and I wanted to append it to my suggestion on this thread, where 
responding to Ken Blake's moronic posts with actual value further proves
my main point that:
o There are two types of people on Usenet - only one of which adds value.

To wit, here is hours upon hours of useful research & value in one post:

UPDATE:  <https://i.postimg.cc/q7VC5YXV/microsoft-browsers01.jpg>

1. The original tutorial assumed you already updated to the new Edge
   (and hence, you needed to remove it and start fresh).

2. This new tutorial starts fresh with a new build of Windows 10
   (and hence, it _preserves_ the old Edge when installing the new Edge).

Yes. I actually had it even earlier. IIRC, v75.

It's been available. This is just when it came in Win10 updates 
(strangely, the Win 7 systems got it earlier).

Same here.

not nearly long enough.

I use FF and turned off everything Edge. Again.

Are you one of those with "Ken" somewhere in their username? Doesn't
look like it - that's a handy rule for constructing a regular
expression for those Usenet filters!

It’s simple: I use a variety of computers, mostly Mac, but some Windows and 
Linux. I use Firefox as my normal web browser on all of them. Apple doesn’t 
care; if I wanted to, I could even delete Safari completely without problems. 
Ubuntu and Mint don’t care. Microsoft cares, and tries desperately to force 
Edge. If I click on a web search result from the search box in the Start 
Menu, for example, Edge launches. So I don’t click there. I get little 
pop-ups and banners and crap trying to get me to switch to the ‘best 
browser for Windows’;
I kill them. On several occasions after a major Windows update, my default 
browser has somehow changed to Edge; I change it back. If I could nuke Edge 
completely off of ny Windows systems I would. I don’t do Edge. I don’t do 
Chrome. Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi aren’t my browsers of choice, though at 
least one of them would be on my various machines.

I do, but only very seldom, when some poorly-written web site isn't 
compatible with FireFox.

Nor do I. As far as I'm concerned, Chrome is terrible--only slightly 
better than Edge.

I never use any of those--only FireFox, and as I said, very occasionally 
Edge.

Yes, same here with the change taking place last week (no option
unless you knew the update number for this and only approved certain
updates).

Cue the blizzard of "I hate Edge although I never use it" posts from
the usual suspects - oh yes, here they are!

Much better user settings for fonts in the Chromium version, giving
me some hassle as to what to set as Tampermonkey options - I see
Stylish is offered as a chrome extension as an alternative to
Tampermonkey - what do users on here prefer?

As a temporary workaround I've disabled/removed Sylish etc. for the
time being just relying on user settings for default offered by the
system as installed. Sans-serif fonts etc. I see darker themes are
popular among browser users generally - why? I find them harder to
view as a long term choice.

Are we talking about version  84.0.522.59? My 'About Edge' does not
mention Chromium at all.

When you get to the 'About' page - build 84.0.522.59 - there is
this:
"This browser is made possible by the Chromium open source project
and other open source software."

Mine does:

"Microsoft Edge is up to date.
Version 84.0.522.59 (Official build) (64-bit)
This browser is made possible by the Chromium open source project and other 
open source software."
