Edge isn't a bad browser. However it's based on Chromium so using it just feeds into the Chromium monopoly.
Firefox or Safari is the only way.
I tried switching to Firefox some weeks ago but deinstalled it immediately after realising that it's DNS doesn't work. My ISP is censoring some ๐ดโโ ๏ธ websites and I can only visit them by not using my ISP's dns service.
No matter which DNS i selected in the browser settings I always got an error saying that Firefox couldn't reach the DNS. I will stick to Opera GX now ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Edit: it's funny how the butthurt Firefox users downvote me for just talking about my experience with the browser.
Sounds like a typical layer 8 issue to me ๐ค
๐คฃ I haven't heard that one in a while!
The same DNS settings work in Opera GX, which means the problem is made by Mozilla
Okay listen... i fully support you in your choice to use the browser that works for you without spending time troubleshooting. But why Opera GX?
Because Google Chrome was slowly filling up my hard drive with temp files. I regualry had to delete mutlipe GB of temp files. With Opera GX I have only 200 MB
