yeah, no.

Chredge is way better than Chrome any day of the week.

JaredBusch

@DustinB3403 Also Chrome is not in any native repository on the RHEL side of the house.

@FATeknollogee what's the benefit of it? We already have Chrome. I don't even want Edge on Windows, let alone on Linux. Just yesterday had upset customers because Edge breaks things for their credit card processing and they wanted it removed completely because it keeps breaking things for them.

In what way?

That is true, and sucks. Not on Ubuntu, either.

Just like Teams keeps coming back even though I remove it. . .

Old edge or new edge?

Hopefully all the chromium stuff, and none of the google tracking crap! but likely MS tracking crap instead.

Old edge or new edge?

The new version which is based on Chromium.

you know that Scott's client was having these issues with new Edge?

Oh, sorry I thought you were asking about what this installs.

But I still assume the new edge in scott's case.

I wouldn't - I don't think even 2004 comes with new Edge by default... Haven't installed Windows 10 2010 fresh yet to see what it comes with.

Most of my users have not been offered new Edge yet, and my image has new edge only because I install it with Chocolatey.

2010 installs the Chredge by default.

That's why Brave is the best choice if you want chromium based browser.

2010 installs the Chredge by default.

The latest round of updates forces the initial setup screen when you first log in. So annoying, and takes forever to load on computers running HDD.

I would think the benefit would be for companies all in on M 365.

What does using office 365 effect the browser? I've seen more often that Google chrome works better on O365 web products than IE or Edge (pre Chedg)
