And the strategy of your employers implies that your work to improve the product doesn't actually matter, only tricking customers into becoming users does.
There can be no discussion about the relative quality of Edge without this subject in the foreground. The only word-of-mouth is from the tricked users who don't know the difference and just see it as the button for the internet. It doesn't matter if you introduce a regression that makes it slower, they'll just blame it on the 'wifi'.
- smcl 3y agoPrecisely. It totally undermines their engineering efforts. There are people I know who use Edge willingly, and their anecdotal claims are that it has reduced resource usage over Chrome (somehow, which is weird since it's using the same engine). It was also used by a few in the Geoguessr community for a while since it didn't hit some annoying Google Street View bug that Chrome did.
- nobodyandproud 3y agoI used Edge 2 for some time as a replacement for Chrome; I dumped Edge for Firefox once it became a hostile experience. The AI integration is what put me off completely.
- smcl 3y agoThat's fair enough. I'm personally a Firefox user and I suggest my friends use it too.
- nobodyandproud 3y agoAfter using Chrome (counting Edge v2 as Chrome) for years, I was pleasantly surprised by how good the revamped Firefox is so it stuck. Otherwise I would've reverted back to Google Chrome.
