Open Edge? ewwwww.
winget install Mozilla.Firefox
Open windows to do
winget install Mozilla.Firefox? Ewww.sudo apt install firefoxWhere’s the one-liner for UEFI shell to install arch?
I didn’t a understand a word of what u said lol
It’s for the best. They use Arch.
Shhh!.. Just keep walking and don’t look at them, they’ll ignore you if you’re lucky.
They use arch Linux
Firefox is already the latest version
winget? ewwww.
Open up the GUI package manager, look for Firefox, type in my password.
If you don’t like command line interfaces, you could try UniGetUI (formerly WingetUI) which is an open source aggregator for multiple package management ecosystems.
Last I checked it included winget, chocolatey, direct-from-GitHub releases, and a lot of developer-oriented solutions like NuGet, pip, pyenv, nvm, npm, rvm, and the like.
If you must use Windows for something, at least you can avoid using Microsoft Store and Edge. And if you have the inclination, you can use that list of installations with an AME Wizard playbook to rapidly provision a Windows machine (virtual or otherwise) which makes the all but inevitable “format-and-reinstall” task painless.
TLDR: you can just use it as an automated installer, kind of like Ninite from back in the day, but it can do a lot more than that. Actually kind of jealous this sort of universal aggregator doesn’t exist in unix systems yet.
It’s not about CLI versus GUI. I’m referring to installing it on Linux because Windows is a heaping pile of shit.
Oh got it. Sorry thought you were a Windows user and wanted to help where you were at.
And agreed. Every time I’m forced to use that OS I experience less and less nostalgia and more incredulous disgust.
Eh, kinda dated, I would rather use edge than Google, of course fire fox is the goat
Where does the meme imply the other browser is a Google product?
I have to do billing on a government (California) website monthly and it will not run on anything but Chrome. It says so at sign in, and it really is true. It’s the shittiest website I’ve ever used.
I feel dirty having it on my computer, and I get mad every time I open the browser.
This is almost certainly artificialy restricted you can use a User-Agent Switcher to trick the site into thinking it’s Google (Not responsible for getting fired) sometimes just blocking JavaScript works, edge even has a compatibility mode to allow it
There’s even a user-agent switcher for Firefox, and it makes most of the “Google Chrome only” webshites work instantly, if not then Edge still works.
Did you just say exactly what the parent comment said?
In fact, you could use an user agent switcher extension to trick most of those chrome-only sites into working!
Did you just restate the parent comment exactly?
Echolalia, echolalia, echolalia…
I think he basically just said what the parent comment directly above him said.
Edge is Chrome(ium). Even if it wasn’t, it’s still… Microsoft lmao
I just don’t see a difference between the two anymore except Google is the current reigning Monopoly so it’s morally worse.
Being the reigning monopoly isn’t morally worse in a vacuum. The problem is all the skulduggery to get to that position, and to even worse, to keep it.
Do you want to give your data to Microsoft or Google?
Neither.
Edge is a fork. It’s not a full copy of chrome. For instance, they let you put the tabs on the sidebar.
I use Firefox but isn’t edge considered a solid lightweight browser now?
Imo it was for while after it was released, and even for awhile after it switched to chromium, but it got bloated with extra features really quick over the last few years. Weird sidebars, copilot, coupon-enterring stuff, etc. Granted a lot of that can be disabled, but still, the only new feature I like so far is tab groups. I try to use Firefox as much as I can but use edge from time to time when the website I need insists on a chromium browser or has issues in Firefox.
Yes, hating on edge is just a meme. I use Firefox as my primary, but I’ll use edge as a backup before chrome.
It’s definitively not lightweight.
It should be as solid as a slightly old version of Chrome.
No.
We don’t use that one around here anymore.
wgetandcurlis what we use to download a browser.Pretty much, and personally it would be straight to Firefox or Zen
I know this is the meme and shitpost place but some lurker might have some insight.
I actually still use IE from time to time when Im trying to watch a movie or whatnot. I have 2 screens and 2 sets of speakers, call them left and right. When streaming I treat the left like a TV. with its own audio direction
but to do this I have to run it through a different browser, and then I have the volume mixer set to output Internet explorer audio through the secondary speakers.
someone know a way of doing it on a tab basis. maybe? In chrome
