      Leopards are those entities that openly boast about eating your face. It’s not the case with Google. Your average non-IT-savy person knows almost nothing about their shenanigans

        It’s been very open among us Lemmers for years now. Posting here it could be all but assumed they knew about this bad behavior for a long time.

      Seriously. Chrome is the single worst mainstream browser on the market today, bar none.

      Absolutely any choice would be better than Google Chrome.

              Yeah true; but Internet explorer isn’t supported ever since Edge (back when it was an actual browser and not just a skin of chromium) came out

                I actually thought Edge was kinda cool when it first came out with its own engine. Another player in the game, I thought.

                Now? How dull.

                  EdgeHTML was a genuine improvement over the old IE engine, but even MS couldn’t compete against Google in the end.

                    So it went, indeed. And it was a cascade of near-monopolization after that. Firefox/Gecko still staying strong in the engine game.

                Internet Explorer is still used by the Windows OS quite frequently. So depending on your definition of “supported” it still kind of is. Plus the internet hasn’t changed all that much, so most websites will work with any web browser regardless of age.

                  Fun fact, if you’re a .NET developer, you can actually still use IE. The browser control on winforms is just IE. Those old .NET framework versions will never die so neither will IE.
