I use Arch, BTW, purely to optimize my continuous edging workflow.

    Wait. Is that Edge’s real tag line? “From browsing to solved”? Who writes this shit? (Rhetorical question; obviously it was written by committee.)

    Edge is just themed Chrome.

    It’s edging, but it’s kinda like edging to the softcore titty movie channels on 1990’s cable when you couldn’t pay to descramble them

      Not just themed Chrome but with Microsoft’s anti-features (data gathering) and unwanted integrations added on top. Or instead of Google’s. Not sure. Anyway, if you don’t want to freely give away even more of your browsing data to either Microsoft or Google you shouldn’t use any of those.

      If you want a Chromium-based browser for the desktop, try Brave but be wary that you need to change lots of settings to make it behave well (but it’s still the least bad Chromium-based browser, when not counting Vanadium for GrapheneOS/Android).

      If not, try Librewolf, which already behaves well out of the box and reigns among the top Firefox-based desktop browsers.

        I used to use Vivaldi and liked it a lot, why wouldn’t you recommend it?

        (Nowadays I just use Firefox. No particular reason)

          Vivaldi is fine. I used to use it extensively in the past but the syncing pretty much rarely working was annoying for me. Yeah I know I don’t have to use it but meh. Also for whatever reason if you’re on linux and you use a font on your system that Vivaldi doesn’t like then you just don’t see text regardless if you installed vivaldi via flatpak or whatever package manager. I’d go back to Vivaldi if they fixed a couple things and because of their in browser email client which I absolutely love. I hate thunderbird and finding a better/good email client on linux is a crapshoot.

          Right now I’m using Helium and I really like it. simple, quick, less resource intensive and the bangs are pretty good.
