The Fool posted:It’s fine, but I don’t like the WebKit monopoly on website rendering It's certainly better than in the IE days though. Firefox renders most everything fine, I've only encountered a couple sites that refuse work properly and it's generally traceable to firefox's aggressive approach to privacy.. usually I can fix it by loosening the controls on cross site stuff. The only hard exception I can think of is icloud.com, I couldn't come up with a way to convince it to work.

Internet Explorer posted:I don't love the monopoly either, but calling Edge that is doing it a disservice. It also allows users to log into the browser to sync their settings with their Microsoft account, allows for seamless SSO for that, and lets you do some other neat stuff with Microsoft solutions. We'll be switching our default browser over to it from Chrome here pretty shortly. If you want to give people the option of Chrome then force this extension down with a policy https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/windows-10-accounts/ppnbnpeolgkicgegkbkbjmhlideopiji?hl=en

I had to go on 8 hr, trip to sister location. This was planned in advance, they knew I was coming. My contact at the location was out Thursday and Friday. So I could not verify that the items needed had arrived. Monday morning guess what nothing had arrived. Bonus: none of the industrial electronic supply companies in that city carried rs232 ( serial) cables or head of null modem cables. I had to spell out n-u-l-l modem and c-r-o-s-s-o-v-er cable.

Edge's market share went from 0 to more than Firefox's in like 6 months. I would expect to see pretty significant growth as Microsoft abuses their monopoly to push it further.

I wonder if the market share calculation included 80% of the users in small businesses I support who thought old Edge was just "the internet."

It uses ActiveX to find windows (Java)scripts that starts Word and uses word automation to type out documents for you. The web app is hosted on Windows Server 2003... It finally getting replaced this summer!

I like how the naming of Edge obviously started from “we have to keep a blue E as an icon or else a ton of people won’t know how to go on the internet” and worked backwards from there. In my days doing computer repair during the height of spyware, we’d often install Firefox on the computers of our “frequent fliers” and update the IE shortcuts to point to it but retain the IE icon.

I don't have the seniority to tell use cases iike this to gently caress off of my own accord, but I do have the reputation to get somebody who does to say "No" on my behalf. Unfortunately the ActiveX based solution Agilent is selling us remains an approved document repository for another year
