Pages of Bing.com automatically jumping to the top of page
I recently started using Microsoft Edge instead of Safari, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi, and even though the last two are Chrome based browsers like Edge, Edge does not share that same problem with Bing springing back to the top of the page. I prefer Edge (the newest version) over the others as it is very fast, and it has just the right elements that I use fairly daily. Of course, prior to using the new Edge, Bing's AI component was not nearly as integrated on other browsers as it is in Edge. I just hope MS continues to keep up with it as it really is a nice browser.
However, it seems a little slipshod to have Bing continue to react the way it does with other browsers. It's as if the final approval for whatever last work that was done on it was given without verifying that it functions correctly with at least the most common browsers. I wouldn't like to believe that it is an oversight, especially having existed for so long. But I don't know what is worse, it being an oversight in that respect or MS just not caring or wanting to insure something as basic and widely used as a browser would function in a useful way.
But then hey... Apple hasn't pulled any punches these past ten plus years in the way it makes almost every decision based on how much more money it can extract from its loyal followers. My having been one myself for over three decades... well I don't buy that nonsense and never did. At least back in the 90s when we saw Apple screwing up, we didn't fawn all over ourselves in ridiculous worship over a company. So, we didn't' toss our money at it like today's users and in in ungodly amounts. I think this whole having only two major OS is no better than having just one when it comes to hardnosed, pushing people into a corner, monopolistic practices. Because it's all too easy to take the attitude "if you don't like it, go to the other side and see how you like it." Especially since both Microsoft and Apple are number 1 and 2 for the highest valued corporations in the nation. And yes, I'm aware that there is Linus, but I don't' really have any experience with it at all and at this. point don't know if it is something I could wrap my head around if it requires too much coding, programming, or the like. However, I am checking up on what it would take to download it and test on a partitioned start-up disk. Because my 12-year-old Mac is about ready to bite Tim Cooks **bleep** and I'm not willing to spend $2,500 on a new M3 that has a closed system that cannot be upgraded –– ever. Not unless I'm willing to hand Apple $200 per upgrade, per step up. That's insane. Just to go from 256G SSD to 512G is $200. Then another $200 to go to 1T, etc., etc. noiwillnot
