Linux Mint isn't perfect, but at least it's not constantly trying to steal my shit or force something on me that I don't want.

Funny because Microsoft also recently dropped support for Firefox for Xbox GamePass Cloud Gaming on Android. I say "dropped support" but really they stopped letting you use the purpose built app and are now forcing you to use browser but the only "supported" browsers are Chrome and Edge. Firefox works, but they forcefully disconnected me after 5 minutes so it's not a matter of compatibility. They just want that traffic going through Edge ideally but they do still support Chrome, for now.

Moved to MacOS years ago, where the default browser is actually good!
As someone that often ends up doing a lot of web development, Safari is the rough modern equivalent of Internet Explorer.

Haha, I was going to post this very meme.
I finally moved completely over from Chrome to Firefox this weekend. Fuck Edge, and fuck Chrome.
MS isn’t bothered because the vast majority of people don’t give a shit. “Many” is doing a lot of lifting in that paragraph. Its probably more accurate to say “…a few people distrust Edge…”
That's a shame since literally everyone should distrust Edge, given Microsoft's history with browsers (and everything else). I don't think anyone matches Microsoft's caviler attitude of "We know there are hundreds of gaping security holes that allow attackers to take full admin control of your computer, but we're just going to mark those bugs as will-not-fix and blame the users when something goes wrong."
Jokes on them, I don't use chrome
Jokes on them, I don’t use Windows
Jokes on them, Edge doesn't respect my GTK theme.
Jokes on everyone. I'm already using Edge
Jokes on you, I've been edging all day.
