tech savvy ppl and non-techy ppl both dont like Edge, Bing and copilot
Edge is actually pretty great. Bing…well, the image search is okay.
Where is Vivaldi?
I’m using Edge and Bing right now, on Windows 11
ew
I use Edge on Linux
Hello Satan.
Not OP, but I have been meaning to talk to my Ubuntu admin about Intune on his systems so we can use conditional access on them.
With how difficult it had been to get macs setup, I have a feeling Edge will be the only way it works.
So in enterprise situations…I’d say “Plausible”.
Personally I mostly use Firefox on Linux, but Proxmox gui doesn’t handle that so well…so for that I have an App-isized Ungoogled Chromium window.
Am an admin, funny thing about conditional access, we use various conditions but one is geolocation; we bar all logins outside of three countries relevant to our workers. We employed it mostly due to a continuous low-threat brute force campaign targeting a few exposed accounts that my data analysis had identified. In testing it out from Red Team’s perspective I quickly realized that conditional access will indeed prevent a login outside of the whitelisted countries, but it will gladly let the attacker know that the reason the login failed was due to conditional access and not an incorrect username/password. So all Red Team has to do is brute force the password and then VPN over to our country of operation and they’re in.
Yeah, this is “tech” “savvy” people, not actual people who understand tech.
The current version of Edge is literally just Chrome with extra bells and whistles.
Yup. This is the meme of a kind of person who is “tech savvy” as an affectation they use to adorn their personality. It’s nothing more, with no deeper thought involved.
I just call myself a “guy on linux with a firefox fork” and nothing more to be honest.
I use edge on Mac.
Me too, I tried using Firefox on Mac but for some reason its power consumption is insanely high.
I know this is the wrong place for this but I like edge.
Tech savvy people like Duckduckgo, Duckduckgo uses Bing under the hood
We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results.
DDG uses a whole bunch of stuff, including feeding anonymized results through the bing API, but they’ve been largely driven by their own indexes for several years now after using Bing to bootstrap themselves.
I host my own search engine lol.
Yacy what you did there
Ah, finally someone using the European open Search index?
No lol. SearXNG. But would look up what you mentioned
SearXNG is not a search engine. It is a Frontend for everything from Google to bing.
Ik that. I was talking in terms of a layman.
in the meanwhile im using Zen Browser.
Thanks for introducing zen
No Problem, hope you like it!
i like edging
Something about Microsoft UI just feels so off for some reason. Material UI, Apple stuff all feels good to use but clicking on a button in Microsoft UI is just… bad.
It makes me think of Fisher Price toys.
yeah it does really feel plasticky in the worst way
I think because they try so hard to be edgy (eheh) and different from the others, by constantly trashing known tested paradigms, refusing to fix known problems, all whike trying to invent the “brand new thing” that nobody wants and never reallt works out.
Windows-only users would never know, but people who’ve either used a modern mac or linux computer will understand.
I have Linux on my gaming PC, a Windows laptop at work and regularly work on a Mac to test stuff. I literally don’t see what you people love so much about the Mac UI. “Same but different”, sure, but nothing groundbreaking.
Or windows users that have been around 20 plus years…
Really it is sad just how bad its all gone.
You forgot the panel where the tech savvy people wash their hands afterwards
I love edge…

I’m tech savvy, and I dislike Firefox.
What I find interesting is when typically non tech savvy people start using things like Brave.
Goes to show how shit the tech industry is
