Didn't windows 10 have a really nice pdf viewer that they then killed to get people to use edge?

the old edge had better video decoding and scrolling. new stuff is all based on cross-platform chromium nonsense

Cold on a Cob posted:https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/3/23709297/microsoft-edge-force-outlook-teams-web-links-open This is garbage, but honestly I do actually want different browsers for outlook and teams. There's too much crap going on nowadays to have a "default browser" for the whole OS. I need to be able to set those apps to use a specific browser and even a specific profile. Will probably never happen.

You can tell when a dev is trying to be smart and has never had to look after the code in production.

i still love that onedrive generates hundreds of megabytes of analytics a day, and you're not allowed to look at them. motherfucker, that's my data you're exfiltrating. at least let me see what the gently caress the sync log shows so i know why your piece of poo poo software has been stuck syncing a single three kilobyte file for a week and a half

well here's some new Edge fuckery. the forward button disappears when there's no forward page to go to, and the whole navigation button section moves over so that the cursor now is over the stop/reload button. great UX there morans

Yeah I really liked Edge for the last couple of years but they're now loving with it badly enough that I'm considering moving back to Firefox. I still don't like how Firefox handles tabs, but they did at least fix the zooming and scaling that was busted until recently.

mediaphage posted:laffo i looked it up and the official support page says to just screen clip your picture and repaste it The workaround is funny as well because you can't actually use the OneNote screenshot feature that's right there do it because it automatically hides the app window. So you have to PrintScreen it and paste into Paint or use the snipping tool, or I guess might as well just copy/paste it into Paint directly.

tbh i suspect the no clip in onenote is the result of people going "i never use more than 1% of all these features anyway" about office apps, with it turning out that everyone has weird nonoverlapping uses covering the 100%

they did the same thing with the News app a while back and it went from a thing that was a genuinely useful to completely unreadable. they also didnt update the screenshots on either app so both still look like the non-poo poo ad-free old versions lol.
