i had to disable windows updates on my home machine because every time it does windows updates it breaks the driver for the wifi adapter and i have to do a system restore. how long before my machine is mining bitcoins for 50 different hackers at once and giving me heatstroke induced brain damage and showing me popup ads for elon musk's great bitcoin giveaway which i gladly click on because of the aforementioned brain damage

rumour has it that deep in the bowels of a building in Redmond is a strange and terrible artifact that has unnaturally animated Microsoft's internet browser division these past years. those who have seen it say that it resembles an enormous tooth

Whatever it is, it made a far superior security model in EdgeHTML. Chromium attitude is fundamentally dumb and I wouldn't be surprised if Gecko is better now.

Even funnier, Microsoft committed some code to Chromium for their Edge fork that reduced the RAM footprint by like 29% in exchange for a small bump (like 5%) in CPU usage, and Google slapped their hand and said nu-uh and removed the code and then removed the ability for Microsoft to do it again.

Never have Google as your upstream source for a project.

E: https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-chrome-and-edge-slash-ram-use-thanks-to-this-microsoft-backend-change/

Yeah this was what they did, and then Google rolled it back and said no don't do that Microsoft.

I've switched over to Edge and it uses like 90% less RAM and retains some features Chrome recently removed.

:hmmyes: you make a compelling argument

i just hate edge because of the frequent occurrence of renaming files in the dark and accidentally hitting f1 instead of f2 and opening up the stupid edge window with a bing search for "get help with file explorer in windows 10"

im tempted to just rip out the f1 key, i did that with the num lock and have never been happier

i always read it as pirate at 40. i didn't know what it meant but at least i read it right:smuggo:

so since he isn't even 40 it's like a life goal to become a pirate? like how a little kid would draw themselves as an astronaut and label it Billy age 25?
