Is it really an ad though? If you aren’t using edge it’s because you prefer something else, not because you don’t know about it. Microsoft tries hard to maintain edge as the default.

It’s not like this post highlights its capabilities or makes an argument for edge vs other browsers.

Any mention that garners attention is an ad.

I think that one was fake, posted by the OperaGX Account. Still funny, though.

On that note, I’d advise against using Opera browsers, the company that is behind them now is kinda shady.

On another note, I’d also advise against Edge, but less so. Microsoft is just normal megacorp-shady, not ran-a-loanshark-bussiness-in-africa-shady.

Wild to read this on Opera (Android). Unfortunately, the UI of Opera wins on large screens.

Try Vivaldi, the spiritual successor of the original Opera team.

Thanks. That seems like a good enough alternative.

I mean, I get that it can be hard to find a good UI/UX, but I think I’d sill take a look at the Hindenburg Research report. I know they’re a hedge fund that stands to gain from the firms they’re short-selling loosing in value, which is questionable, but I’m unaware of them manipulating facts. I personally don’t think it’d be comfortable trusting Opera/their owners, if they’re willing to do stuff like this.

I tried to give Firefox and Mull a go again.

Mull hasn’t changed.

Firefox Nightly now offers Tab strip (desktop-style tabbing) which is a mojor thing for me. It seems the scaling is now more or less OK when using “Desktop site” and manual font scaling. Drawbacks: The tabs squish when more tabs are added instead of sliding like in Opera. This is problematic with a large amount of tabs open. Also, there’s still no option to permanently enable desktop sites. I have tried setting general.useragent.override, but that breaks the scaling again. It seems there have just been some improvements to “Desktop site” mode. The home tab also doesn’t show up as a separate tab which is weird.

I wish they just kept the old mobile UI. There was even a separate tablet UI.

I think this is actually one of the most in-touch posts I’ve ever seen by a business. It was posted here, wasn’t it? They knew.

I like to believe that they did it on accident. It’s funnier that way.

No shade, but it amazes me that somebody would think that people doing marketing for a product called “Edge” would not be aware of its (double) meaning.
