I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn’t evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother’s high score. Good memories.

    I think it was a sensible decision to drop their own engine as nobody liked it anyway. Might as well go with a proven one and use your resources on stuff your customers want you to focus on. Since Nadella took over, Microsoft has been very well managed imo and they made a lot of right moves, like their move into cloud computing, embracing open source, integrating linux subsystem on windows, etc…

    Their choice to ditch their IE/edge engine is a symptom of these better managerial choices.

      Hi, I am nobody ;-; I am a dirty casual not caring for privacy too much ( more than every day Mark, quite a lot less tha you folk ) but I absolutely loved Spartan Edge. It was quick, low memory usage and I absolutely loved it. Dropped chrome for it. And…then it was killed ;-;

      Edit: I feel a lot of hate towards Edge comes from people connecting Edge to IE which…couldn’t stray further from truth.
