I don’t know. Even brands are getting aggressive on the bird site. I never thought big corporations like Microsoft would act like this and attack other open-source browsers. I guess old habits die hard. They love and use open source when it benefits their bottom lines. However, they get aggressive if another open-source project threatens their bottom line.
Despite strong warnings from the EU, they are very aggressive and defend their practices of nagging users. I hope FTC will look into this kind of bad behavior. https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/112239671499175551
@apemantus What gives? I think the joke is that Edge, of all competitors, is saying the loud part louder, while the tactics they use are more than outdated.
@clacke Injecting competing browsers with stupid ad is so rotten that it doesn't matter how fresh is this Edge thing. Jusr the good ol' and out-of-date monopoly garbage at play.
@nixCraft it’s bizarre how they call FF “outdated” — whenever I test in other browsers I’m shocked at how superior FF is. I had a suspicion that it had fallen behind — but no. Most defiantly no.
@nixCraft They really though they could burn FIREfox? Also it gives me huge IE vs. Netscape vibes. Can't wait for another antitrust trial (kinda ironic seeing they claim to be "Chrome with added """trust""" of Microsoft", which is prob. a code-word for "tracking BS").
@nixCraft If Microsoft spent more time building a great browser and less time user begging, I might consider trying it again outside of when I'm forced to in an enterprise setting.
Between this and Opera acting like the king of Twitter, I'm fine with sticking to LibreWolf or some other fork of Firefox.
