Latest Edge Dev installed but only a handful of Store extensions on offer
BruceRoberts I hear what you say but when I was in software support, I soon learnt that customer reports that they installed X and it broke Y usually turned out to be nothing of the sort. When I speak of overkill on security fears, I always challenge the facts. How many actually suffered more than just inconvenience for example? As a percentage of installations, how many went wrong? I find myself that the fear is worse than the facts and that Microsoft et al are just arse covering and making the consumer suffer for it. That's my personal view anyway.
Microsoft are making a big mistake if they don't pull their finger out and make essential extensions available. In my case I want a translator, one that will translate highlighted text in-situ or a paragraph or an entire page. There are three available for Edge Dev and none of the install pages work! It is vers 78.0.244.0
it's funny, i've never came across anyone else before who would say that Windows has overkill security. everyone on the Internet are literally nagging about how insecure Windows is and how much one needs 3rd party AVs, even though the truth is Windows Defender at its current state is better than 99% of all AVs.
HotCakeX I was trained in Risk Assessment and my point is that many security measures are not based upon risk assessments but upon anecdotal evidence from inexperienced users who clamour for "more security". It is political and arse covering to pander to such ignorant demands. Nothing to do with the real life risks of serious harm. I repeat, it is throwing the baby out with the bathwater syndrome.
- If i were you i would go sue the manager of that risk assessment program for bad teaching 😂
you're free to think that way, after all not everyone is supposed to be safe on the Internet, hackers need to feed their families too 😄HotCakeX The post is about the risk of browser extensions specifically you know, and my employers, a huge international bank who commissioned the risk assessment won't be too chuffed at your comments. Bye.
