    why do windows users install chrome?

    i don’t get it, edge comes preinstalled on windows and it’s chromium-based.

      Honestly i dont think most people do. We’re all in a bubble of atleast somewhat technically minded people, not just on lemmy but im sure most of our friends irl are similar. Ive been in a few officey type areas and out of the vast majority of monitors ive seen, theyve been using edge, sometimes i even see multiple browsers open lmao. Just checked statcounter and edge is the third most used which is fucking nuts when you consider how many options there are.

      The same reason people are reluctant to leave the Apple ecosystem, you’d have to set everything up again.
