    Do you use Android? Chrome is the native WebView that a good chunk of your apps use.

    Wait… so you are talking about webviews when I was talking about the actual browser? Lmao… talk about a false equivalency.

    This is got many advantages and many disavantages. If you dislike it, fair enough - but let’s not pretend this is unusual or somehow unjustifiable.

    I’m talking about forcing the actual browser installation. Nothing you said has countered this, Android doesn’t force Chrome to be installed for webviews in applications. The webview class is nothing close to being a full browser, and certainly doesn’t require a browser to be installed to use it. If anything, that is an example of the right way to do it… having a separate class, that is not dependent on the actual browser installation.

    Yes, please go on, I can’t wait to hear more of your ridiculous takes.

      You can easily remove Edge but need to install Edge WebView.

      The person you are replying to is completely right and you’re wrong.

        webview != browser… what is so hard to understand about this? The fact that an OS is reliant on a browser out of the box, is absolutely ridiculous. If all these app dependencies were on the Edge Webview base instead of pointed at the actual browser installation, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

            Yeah, I agree with the meme, Windows is absolute dogshit… it’s a joke. I didn’t realize it until switching to Linux and seeing how an OS should be built.

              Linux is pretty dogshit as well. I haven’t seen a decent UI yet either.

                Lmao, thank you for confirming to me that I should not consider your opinions. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Every major Linux DE runs circles around Windows DE in terms of both UI and workflows. It’s not even close… like, not even a little bit close. I’ll write you off as another ignorant Windows pleb… imagine being hard stuck Windows.

                  Again. Scroll up. That’s a picture of you.

                  Imagine having no taste and thinking there are decent Linux UIs. Good Jesus.

                    You don’t need to keep reaffirming my judgment of you, I’m completely satisfied with it. And as I’ve already told you, I don’t consider the opinions of morons. Stay mad over being a Windows pleb… no sweat off my balls, in fact, it’s hilarious to me.
