  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

I thought Edge is just the browser people use when a website isnt working in their normal browser, to check if it's the website that's broken or the browser.

Do people use it for other things?

I know this was always the joke about Edge, but even Windows has a command line installer these days:

winget install mozilla.firefox
