Why even have edge for mobile if you didn't intend for it to be the best, And if it is intended to be the best browser for mobile, then why not give it something to set it ahead of the competition? I generally don't understand the reasoning here? I'm honestly concerned with Google's near monopoly of the internet, and I would love to be able to point people toward edge, but what does it do better than chrome, it does things differently, that may be subjectively better but what does it do that is objectively better?Īlso I'd like to say I'm a fan of Microsoft. I 100% do not believe Microsoft has a complete/coherent vision to unify it. The fact that this has not already happened is honestly disappointing and frustrating. Here is one area where you (Microsoft) could offer a clear and distinct advantage over chrome, add extension support. Unfortunately we've been playing air hockey this whole time and google has just about sealed the victory away. Maybe however, they have some master plan so complicated and advanced in its implementation that they are playing 9 chess moves ahead. Man It's almost like no one is behind the wheel here at Microsoft. However, I'm not sure what Enterprise users who have deployed uBlock Origin through Group Policy will do though – they will become a bit 100% agree. No-one is going to tolerate the web in it's current form after being used to using uBlock Origin. Mind you, once support for Manifest V2 is removed from Chromium browsers, then I think uBlock Origin users will likely move to either Brave or Firefox anyway. ![]() With uBlock Origin and the native blocker built into Brave browser, it allows users to use both custom rules and also third-party lists to make the web half useable, which is something lacking with the one built into Edge for Android (even Internet Explorer 9 which came out in 2011 had this).Īfter using uBlock Origin on Firefox for Android with the "Adguard Annoyances" list enabled, it's really not a nice experience trying to use Edge on mobile again and getting hit with a barrage of GDPR banners, etc. Twitter is one example, but at this point I think the way websites have decided to implement GDPR pop-ups and other nags, they have become more obnoxious than ads themselves. The problem is, although Edge for Android comes with Adblock Plus, an ad blocker is not just necessary for ads and trackers now-a-days, but also because websites have become so obnoxious and hostile towards their visitors. ![]() Now, probably around 7 years later, we're using Firefox on Android for it's extension support. It started with trying to get Microsoft to implement Tracking Protection Lists (TPL) from Internet Explorer into legacy Edge (luckily legacy Edge had extension support and extension developers like Nik Rolls). ![]() For years now you always appear in the same topics, at the same time, with the exact same thoughts.
