seeing how it is fewer clicks to install adblock in edge than to install chrome *and* install adblock in chrome there is literally no reason to not run edge on w10 for that reason alone

skipping the acceptable ads thing is precisely one more click, so you come out ahead anyway

i rather like the acceptable ads program though, it would be neat if ad blockers could be a bit of a force punishing really annoying ads to a greater extent than ads in general. likely a lot of aspects to that thought i haven't thought through well enough however

I get reports from users about how this one particular thing doesn't work with Edge, every couple of weeks there's some dick whining, and my awesome job privilege is to tell them that we don't support Edge, and to use Chrome or Firefox or Safari, all of which work great.

Edge is 6% of our users right now.

Do you think Edge can wedge itself back into our loving support queue? because jesus christ if it does

this could be the most tragic post, trying to deal with an obviously horrible job by trying to find a feeling of power in telling people that you are actually powerless to do something that was likely largely irrelevant to them anyway

man, so the application guard thing literally virtualizes another copy of windows (albeit some minimal one) to run the boxed edge. that is a p. low-level move to pull to be able to safely surf porn on your domain-connected computer

no idea about that, the diagram the edge team shows has some windows derivative running on hyperv running the untrusted edge
