Manifest V3: Web Request Changes
Out of curiousity, what do you think makes Chrome and the new Edge ugly? I don't have any ulteriror thoughts before you say anything.
UM. EXCUSE ME? adblock users aren't "power users". I hate that term. I for one am just a tech enthusiast. I'm not an "IT Pro" or a developer.
Why would they use Google Translate and Google Search? That would remove the whole purpose of the browser. I don't think they can use Google Translate like that anyway.
I feel like everyone is forgetting that Microsoft also has ads.
Its just ascetics and personal preference. For example I was never a fan of the odd shaped tabs in Chrome and when they redesigned them I was so bummed they did not go with straight lines like old Edge and Firefox. I don't think they stand out as much as they should and just create more screen clutter. Also in Chrome (and many parts of new Edge) everything is faded or dusty looking, in old edge blacks are darker, white pop more and lines are crisper. I think even text looks different, in chrome and new edge its all a little bit lighter and less pronounced. Again this is a ascetic preference but I really like the way old edge looks and feels.
Edge is still relatively young and under development. To criticize now is wrong. Other browsers took years and Edge is supposed to make it in 6 months, that's not possible.
- This Edge is based on Chromium which has been around for a long time. Edge Spartan has been around for around 4 years. All Edge has done aesthetically is tweak Chromium. They haven't redone text rendering. It's totally possible to make it in 6 months.
