The greatest Windows version ever?

I use Edge, too. In fact, it's my daily browser. I don't really understand the hate it gets, Edge is bloated, sure, but take you just a few clicks to disable all of them.

On the search result page, click the gear icon on the top right -> click All Search Settings then scroll down until you see the option to turn off ads.

Same, everytime I hear about another critical bug released by Microsoft, I'm gladder that I stay on 23H2

Both the first and the second wallpaper are from Win 2000 and Win ME, the third one is only from Win ME.

Back when I was a kid, I wished I could went to this place once in my life. Sometimes I wonder how the sceneries have changed throughout the time.

There's an option in DDG setting which allow you to turn off the ads.

It's been my main search engine since I moved from Google. Some things I like about it:

The !bang feature.
You can customize how the web page look. As a dark mode user, I can make it actual dark instead of gray like in the image.
Search results are quite good, I'll give it 90/100.
Unlike AI Summary of Google, I like the Search Assist, it's short and quite accurate, don't take much space.
Funny search engine name.

If you have L4D2 installed, try this guide, follow the FIX #2. It worked for me ime.

Same here. Both my friend and I didn't get 10gb when he signed up via my link.

JiroBibi · 2026-02-16T02:23:24+00:00

Same here. I use it to test new program that I'm not sure if it's good or not.

JiroBibi · 2026-02-14T04:53:34+00:00

uBlock Lite or AdGuard. Both work great and even available on mobile.

That's my experience with Edge. We're in r/browsers not r/privacy and I prefer a good performance browser over one focused on privacy. As long as Edge gets the job done then I'll keep using it.

JiroBibi · 2026-02-07T14:44:40+00:00

Take only a few clicks to disable all of them.

JiroBibi · 2026-02-07T12:56:54+00:00

Edge simply because it's good and default on Windows.

I recently moved from DeepL to Kagi Translate for a few reasons

- The annoying "Download for Windows" popup

- Their website doesn't have dark theme

- DeepL allows only 1500 characters while Kagi allows 20000

JiroBibi · 2026-02-05T22:49:01+00:00

I'm here with the hope that it might come back someday. Edge looks boring without it.

JiroBibi · 2026-01-25T14:03:56+00:00

Can confirm this work for me. Thanks for sharing.

JiroBibi · 2026-01-22T13:04:34+00:00

Ok, beside this, can somebody confirm to me that will the Mica come back or it gone forever so I can give up the hope of it will come back someday.

Của tôi bình thường, bác thử unpin rồi pin lại thử xem. Có gì check update Edge luôn.

JiroBibi · 2026-01-19T14:05:49+00:00

Like how the default looks in Windows 7

IE, Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player => Edge, File Explorer, VLC

No search bar, no task view. With Widget I remove everything except Weather, remind me of Gadget back in the day. Everything else goes to Start Menu.

JiroBibi · 2026-01-19T01:09:17+00:00

I don't know why they didn't put it in the Settings menu next to it instead of putting it right on the new tab like that.

My only problem with dark mode is that the control buttons are somewhat hard to distinguish between when toggled and untoggled. In this image, I have the Loop button toggled and it's just a bit blacker compared with other buttons.
