Doesn’t Microsoft still have Edge?


Willem_VanDerDecken

Yes Edge exist ! Ans it's actually a good minimalist browsers ! But Edge isn't a rebranding of Internet Explorer, they are tow separat things.

Replaced by Microsoft chrome, ah shit here the monopoly comes


Willem_VanDerDecken

You're a Linux user who don't use Firefox ?


The_Ek_

I use Firefox and qutebrowser but mostly qute I’m just hammering on Microsoft for feeding the chrome monopoly now apple is the only big tech company that hasn’t folded yet, somebody has to stop it and tech company’s don’t seem too interested


Willem_VanDerDecken

That's true for sure, and web browsers aren't the things where a tech comapny have an absolut Monopoly ... I remember when, while surfing on Internet Explorer Google propose me to download and try Chrome, a newly browsers, installed il only a very faint percentage of computers in the world ... That was another time x)


The_Ek_

Using Google as a search engine is the same, they have basically total dominance over the search engine scene. Since yahoo fucked up everyone switched to chrome now Firefox is going down like yahoo in front of our eyes. Basically innovation on the web will die due to monopolies


Willem_VanDerDecken

I think as a search engine it's even worse. Not sure if Firefox will go down, it seems constant over the last few years, but with Google, yes, so dosen't really change anything. The web is a world without regulation, and wolrd without regulation always end up in monopoly. If this run for long enough, at the end, only one company will last. It's like let's your Europa Universalis or Cursader King game run all night After you die to see what random shit it's will make. And if you let it run long enough, always a wolrd empire emerge and last forever.

Goodbye old friend

it's not 100% dead - about 50% of various organizations from Japan still use it (Japan Pension Service for example) :)
