yeah uh. it keep crashing the shit out of my PC so i just use edge, imported all the extensions and never looked back.
Edge is still Chromium, so it's not really any better.
true. but its less bloatware on my PC, ill probably switch to firefox or something in the future
I mean Firefox is pretty lightweight, not sure you're getting much benefit from not installing it.
For me, the privacy concerns of Chromium based browsers combined with Microsoft shoving Edge in our faces means I'll never use their browser.
Then again I only use Windows for work, I'm a filthy Linux user for anything personal
It’s always weird to hear this. I haven’t had stability issues with Firefox on dozens of computers over the past decade. Not doubting that it happens. I just don’t know what I’m apparently doing right, if anything, to prevent that.
I'm pretty sure they were talking about Chrome, but that's just how interpreted it.
