Time and… money?

Use Firefox and increase competition and privacy.
Oh yeah, Edge has a coupon and reward service. They can save you money by scraping your web browsing habits and potential products then push you towards chosen vendors and their own services. Just like every other big tech company!
Wow, didn’t know that… Now I understand how those coupon services work.
Very shady considering it knows what you’re trying to buy and can offer you appropriate coupons.
Personally, I use Firefox.
But frankly, the entire point of the chromium browser engine is to harvest to whatever company is shipping it.
To play devil advocate: If you have to use Chromium, might as well do it on one that gives you a pittance back?
Switching from Edge to Chrome…i mean come one.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, especially in a place like Lemmy, but I use Edge for my browser and Authenticator for password management. Easy, don’t have to think about it, and support for chrome extensions with less memory overhead, ime.
I felt like people dislike Edge due to brand awareness + bad experinece in the past (Microsoft, Explorer, Edge, all have a negative and comical association for many people who grew up with Windows).
If given a chance, I bet even Edge would be a decent enough browser on production level. But still, I find it funny and desperate to leave such messages to try to persuade users not to churn away to other browsers.
That’s fair, I do wonder if it’s really affective at all and how many people they persuade away with it.
