The 'doze OS and some browsers have yet another problem, it would appear.

Can't wait to see if it turns out to be cross-platform as well...

Will consider Edge when they get ad blockers

We reached out to Microsoft for clarification.

Probably should have reached out to Mozilla or Google for clarification instead.

I find Edge very annoying.

The features I liked and used most often either don’t exist in Edge or are hard to use.

When IE wouldn’t install in Win 10, I got Chrome. Which is something I never wanted to do, because I don’t trust anything made by Google.

I allowed Win 10 to do a free install on one of my secondary computers. It’s not terrible, but overall I don’t like it.

From over 35 years of past experience with M$, including selling their krap, they have included special “hooks” that only Edge can access - or they have established some code that will increase battery drain if competing browsers are detected being used.

M$, Hitlery and 0bozo are all equally crooked. Glad I’ve been on Linux for so many years.

I laugh reading all the latest problems with M$ as I sit and thoroughly enjoy not being beholden to them.

As an extremely long term Firefox user now switching to Chrome I’m amazed how buggy Chrome is and some silly decisions Goigle made.

Downloaded Windows 10. Cannot get Edge to work. It always says..”We can’t get there from here! Restart and reload your page.” So I do, and still get the same message.

Mozilla works fine, so does Google Chrome.

I expect Windows 10 to tell me that it has “upgraded” my browser to Edge.

Ugh.

That sounds like my mother being browbeaten into getting expensive oil changes at the dealership because “Jiffy Lube oil will void your warranty!!”

I had to shake my head in disbelief. I know I know, Chevy can’t be blamed for the misbehavior of one shop. Still pisses me off, though.

I use Chrome, but my laptop has a solid state drive. I can run for at least 6 hours on battery.

Wonder if the Microbros are ramping up for a monthly rental fee for Edge next year?

“The solution, according to the notification, is to use Microsoft Edge”

Nope. The solution is to install every ad blocker known to mankind and set Flash for manual activation only.
