• I remember when my Grandpa was still alive he’d get all confused and ask me why Windows was telling him to use certain programs like Edge. I was just like, “Grandpa, they want you to use Microsoft products because they make more money if you do.” and then he got really annoyed.

  • Chrome is way overrated, just like edge (a little less) in my opinion. They focus heavily on speed and not on actually giving a unique browsing experience. They dont help you browse the internet efficiently and organized like browsers like Vivaldi do. The appearence of these browsers (and firefox to) stayed quite similar over time. There are better browsers, people just follow the masses and dont even try out new onces.

    Never take fanboy’s opinions and this guy makes it pretty obvious. Never even mentioned Firefox.

    Safari doesn’t even run on Windows and Linux. If a company controlled every aspect of hardware and software, of course it will run faster. It’s 2022, isn’t technology supposed to be portable? I would take some trade off on speed for superior portability, adblock, privacy and customization over a browser that doesn’t even bother being cross platform.

    this is, however, good content for sheeples

    • Castrating Windows via one of those registry-editing scripts or via a community-made distribution of Windows?

      Just asking out of curiosity, since I already use the ultimate method of castrating Windows (Linux).

      • LOL, yeah, Linux is the últimate methode. But sadly, for several reasons Windows is still needed, because of the lack of some professional and official apps for Linux, also respect of games (although currently this is changing). To tame Windows to my like I used the own Windows tool GodMode, which give access to all setttings of Windows, even the hidden ones, and a FOSS tool called Window Optimizer (better to use a tool for some settings, because registry settings by hand is pretty dangerous and easy to convert your PC in a paperwight)
