It's an endless joy for me when Microsoft fails to get traction with their new shiny browser and changes something as a fresh start.

It's a decent browser but never again IE. Keep rebranding the browser downloading tool, Microsoft.

That said, these days I am annoyed by "This browser is not supported, use Chrome" messages. Maybe the the history does not repeat but rhymes after all.

Browsers should be made by non-profits like mozilla, in my opinion.

The new Microsoft Edge is Chromium, so at least you won’t be getting those messages.
It's not really about the technology but about what Microsoft did until someone finally managed to take them down.

Microsoft has a cool CEO and Bill Gates is just a tad short of an angel these days, however a history of suffering should not be forgotten. What Microsoft did was not benign.

The loss of EdgeHTML is a tragedy for open web ecosystems. Now there are only two.
