I work for an international corporation and we were told to stop using Chrome and use Edge only as it’s more secure. Firefox was out of the question and not even installed.

Lol. I have no idea how Microsoft convinces these companies that they’re the “secure” option. My workplace has banned any AI except copilot, because Microsoft told them copilot is secure.

Maybe Microsoft signed on a line promising security. Hopefully another line isn’t a forced arbitration clause.

Just try to look at its default settings. It’s really the worst option maybe even more than Chrome itself.

It’s okay. They disabled profile syncing. Your credit card information is safe with us.

Why are you people soooooooooo worried about viruses? I think the last virus I got was on WindowsXP.

Pretty sure viruses don’t exist. I’m using a windows 7 pc for 10 years, and the only virus protection is whatever they put on windows 7 by default, with no updates ever, and I STILL don’t get viruses. I’m at a point where it seems like virus makers just gave up.

Edge and Chrome are the viruses.

You get that idea because no one actually browses the internet anymore. All people ever do is use fucking social Media and that’s about it. No one’s using Limewire to download porn/music, no one’s using warez websites anymore, there are trustworthy porn aggregators so no one needs to visit dubious websites anymore.

Viruses are still a thing, and as someone already mentioned, chrome and edge themselves are spyware. Phishing is the more prodominant modus operandi nowadays.
