I am ready to :elephant:ing give up

For my purposes, all browsers have worked well enough. When I use a browser for a while, I learn how to manage the user interface, bookmarks, settings and history. Having to re-learn such things is annoying. (Why, back in my day, we'd walk 5 miles through knee deep snow, uphill both ways, just to use a browser, and by golly we were happy....) I'm getting cranky as I age...

I usually welcome my Microsoft overlords, to be honest. Using their tools and adhering to their best practices has usually been a safe bet. The Edge team however has this "take no prisoners" and ":elephant: the user" attitude that is just pissy. Back when Edge started resetting file associations I remember reading an explanation how this was supposedly a "security measure" and "third-party vendors were not using the proper API". Bull:elephant:ingshit.

I am a long-time Chrome user. We use generated HTML documents for a lot of things in our products. Microsoft's incessant pushing of Edge pisses me off, especially when they constantly reset my file associations for HTML files to point to it. I know my prejudice doesn't have a sound technical basis. I may have to finally surrender :mad:. I create the system images we install on the industrial PC's we use in our products. The Microsoft Update Catalog[^] site will not download files using Chrome, so I've learned to use Edge for that. I'm getting ready to create a Windows 11 image for a new model of PC, and come to find out that their site for downloading the image bits and pieces doesn't work with Chrome either. This tit-for-tat shit isn't necessary :suss:.

delete this;Meh. I've abandoned Chrome in favor of Edge, with the thinking being, the OS makers already have all my data. I'd rather have the browser I use send the same data to the same company, rather than having two companies spying on me (with one of them deriving its income almost entirely from ad revenue). On a technical basis, I also no longer see how Chrome might still have the edge (pardon the pun).

My memory goes back to 5 cent postage for envelopes, 4 cents for a post card. :)

Microsoft, Google, etc. knows what the majority is too afraid to admit. They want to control your data and view to and of the world. It's only going to get worse.

delete this;Is it in the realm of possibility that your HTML files are not well-formatted to industry standards and best practices? I know for a fact that Chrome will not render some HTML files if they are not properly formatted the way Chrome would like them, which to my knowledge is to W3C standards, etc. I also know that if Chrome detects what it thinks are security issues, it won't render the HTML or render it properly. I still use Chrome and love Chrome. Luckily, I never had any issues to the point that I would drop Chrome as a browser.

It is weird getting the same age as those old people... :rolleyes: :laugh:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
