Adobe provides PDF viewer that is embedded in Edge...

Microsoft leaves mitigation of this known and quite powerful phishing vector behind additional licensing requirements. You cannot reliably block Microsoft Entra device code flow without Entra ID Premium P1.

Password managers, FIDO keys will not help you as the authentication flow is happening in Microsoft servers.

With USB4/TB you can get quite far in both latency and throughput. Actually there are network adapters with TB connection that are just TB to PCIe adapters and PCIe network card.


You should not have to hack Explorer to make it usable.


Now you have "rounded edges" in Edge that add a content area limiting margins to all sides. Also, they took an open source browser and do not provide the source for Edge. So much for love of open source.


Should've used GPL, Google!
