> In spite of explicitly setting my default file associations to my preferred applications And getting griped at by Windows for doing it, too. "Oh won't you pleeeeeeease consider using the Strongest, Securest, Bestest, Most Wonderfulest Browser Out There, the amazing Microsoft Edge instead of whatever piece of shit blob of code you downloaded from the very untrustworthy dark Interweb?!?" No, Windows browser team, I want to use Firefox and just like Google pushing their browser on their platform I resent you pushing yours.

The funny thing is that this may actually be true >Strongest, Securest, Bestest, Strongest because it's Chromium "Securest" once they disable JIT

  LOL this reminds me of IE on Windows Server. In order to keep your server secure, they put IE in "Enhanced Security Configuration" mode which breaks the entire web. It cracks me up that the only way IE is secure, is when it's useless. It's basically an admission that IE was not secure enough to run in default mode, when it's only going to be used on a server by someone experienced enough with tech to set up a server. But those regular desktop pelbs, you all can just have insecure IE.

    To their credit, the enhanced security configuration does turn off JS and reduces other attack surface significantly. Also, IE has a very useful black/whitelisting feature called Internet Zones (which Edge removed, not surprisingly) so you can allow those features on sites you really do trust. "breaks the entire web" is really an exaggeration from the Google-propaganda-pushers. You don't all the extra crap like JS when you're just looking at static pages. A lot of sites are fine without. This site doesn't need JS either.

Edge lost its value proposition after becoming just another Chromium shell wannabe. Original, native Edge used to have a great epub reader and had less resource consumption.
