Idk what optimizations Microsoft stacked on top of Chromium, but Edge is effectively Chrome. It’s based on the same code as Chrome. Unless Microsoft managed to fix Chrome in some way Google couldn’t.

I didn't realize winget was exclusive to Pro. I ran Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 Pro from launch day until I stopped using Windows altogether last year. A Windows 7 Home Premium license was significantly more expensive after Windows 8 launched at 40 bucks, and I needed an OS for my new gaming rig.

No, it's available on home. I've been running it on home machines for a while now.

If you ever feel useless, just know that Edge is available for Linux on Debian and its forks.

I use Edge on my laptop on a daily basis.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sure sure, but we're talking about the Internet browser

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah the browser is good!!

I use it on my work laptop, I even have chrome installed. It works just fine.

Why? If you must use Chromium, why not Vivaldi or something?

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like Edge.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Any particular reason?

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm using Windows 11.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That isn't a reason for liking something...

[–] Winterfrost@lemm.ee 0 points 6 days ago

This is not the beat OS out there. Linux distros give a lots of flexibility.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Installed Vivaldi and Zen Browser. Desactivated EDGE as the next task.
