Willingly using Edge on Linux to browse the internet should be classified as a mental disorder.

I think it's called Stockholm syndrome.

I do so. When you start the browser it's bloated of course, but you can customize it and remove almost everything you don't like. The browser itself has a lot of its own neat features, so it's not really just a reskin of chromium. I am tired of pretending it's only bad.

Why use proprietary software when we have alternative Free Software that works just as well?

Yeah, no. That is just wrong. That is akin to saying that IE 6 really was awesome. Get help

Who in the everlasting fuck would for what Jesus on a pogostick reason install edge on Linux?

That is just sick

That is like walking in on a church mass with "the exorcist 2973" blasting from your mobile phone

I'm sure Microsoft had it out there for someone but again... Who..?

I feel like I need to shower

Which is useful for using the Xbox Cloud thing on Linux.

Also, it works as the one Chromium based browser I occasionally need for sites built by idiots.
