Edge or the slop? I'm not really a Windows guy.
Get ready for:
clicks hyperlink
Entire page is scraped and sent to copilot LLM to be processed. This causes a 1.5 second delay
Then after you get passed the cookies popup and promo popup, the whole page shifts and gets injected with copilot summarizations right as you were about to click on something else.
Work forces me to use edge, this'll be fun
Work forces me to use edge, this’ll be fun
Those absolute monsters.
"Seriuosly unpopular" and the base for that claim is a reddit post with 300 upvotes. Don't get me wrong, fuck microslop and edge, but this title could not be more sensationalistic.
Remaining it to CoPilot Browser in 3...2...
or, just copilot
Imagine using Edge when other browsers exist.
I use it on my work PC and I have to admit that it's not that bad...
"What is my purpose?" "You download Firefox"
winget install -e --id Mozilla.Firefox
I actually have Firefox also installed on that machine, but some (internal) sites work better in Edge, so I mostly use Edge on that PC.
Yeah, same.
It's not terrible, but it feels like it's slowly becoming worse as they add new garbage. And especially if they start forcing a bunch of AI shit I'm out.
But I think a lot of people brush it off outright without really using it. Or, because it's Lemmy, anything that's not linux = bad.
Actually Edge prior to this was a fine browser. Like a lightweight chrome. It was actually just good enough to not really make you want to install a new browser unless it was your daily driver personal PC.
When do they rename Edge to Copilot Explorer. :)
Internet Copilot
Copilot Firefox Downloader
There was almost no reason to use Edge to begin with not much changes here.
If it gets too bad, I suppose everyone still forced to use SlopilotOS for whatever reason will have to use Powershell to download Firefox. That is, until the SlopilotShell rebrand comes along.
Until they introduce Copilot in Powershell so that when you try do D/L another browser, it will chime in and explain you that you should first give a serious try to EdgePilot because it's so much better and you won't be disappointed! Here: I D/L its premium version instead of FF as you were trying to do, and I give you one month for free! \o/.
Ironfox, Cromite, Librewolf, Ungoogled Chromium, Orion, so many much better options nowadays.

Now when people try to use Bing Copilot app to download a normal web browser, it can talk them out of it while introducing them to all the other Copilots and their apps
Is that before or after copilot attempts to talk them into offing themselves?
That's if they say "no" after the first pitch.
I'm really loving this new Microslop name.
Also... looks like someone bought www.microslop.com and redirected to their own site: https://www.philipncohen.com/
Ugh, that sucks. That domain could've been put to good satirical use.

"We must negate the machines-that-think. Humans must set their own guidelines. This is not something machines can do. Reasoning depends upon programming, not on hardware, and we are the ultimate program! Our Jihad is a "dump program." We dump the things which destroy us as humans!"
