winget install -e --id Mozilla.Firefox
This, if you must use windows get pro so you can just use winget
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 remember when this meme was IE
How are your knees?
"What is my purpose?"
"None. You don't get executed ever because the very first thing I do upon getting a new computer is boot into UEFI and install Linux."
I use Edge on my laptop on a daily basis.
Sure sure, but we're talking about the Internet browser
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?
I like Edge.
Any particular reason?
I'm using Windows 11.
That isn't a reason for liking something...
This is not the beat OS out there. Linux distros give a lots of flexibility.
I disagree. Edge is an acceptable browser if you just want a browser. This meme stems from the days of Internet Explorer and for IE it was valid. IE was a subpar browser at the time. It failed to do the bare minimum, like keep up with w3 standards.
Before I learned about containers in Firefox, Edge was my secondary browser (to log into second accounts)
Agree, Edge has always performed well for me personally, especially at work. At least it didn’t eat all the RAM like Chrome.
Prefer Firefox overall tbf.
Acceptable browser, for chromium, and nothing else
