Who in the everlasting fuck would for what Jesus on a pogostick reason install edge on Linux?

That is just sick

That is like walking in on a church mass with "the exorcist 2973" blasting from your mobile phone

I'm sure Microsoft had it out there for someone but again... Who..?

I feel like I need to shower

Here I am, your case study. Installed Edge on my Linux box because at the time using Edge was the only way to access their chatGPT bot for free, through Bing Chat. The good thing is that it was just another browser, so not annoying pop-ups or anything. Since I moved to openai I've never used Edge again, and I actually forgot about it until I saw this comment.

Yeah I'm mostly "joking" about it, if you have a reason you have a reason, bit it does sound wrong somehow.
