You mean Internet != Netflix?  But that's the only way you can tell if you have Internet, if Netflix works, on your TV, at the Other end of the House, Behind the furnace ducts.

And of course, if Netflix was the only thing you used online then you would never be seeing any ads no matter what browser you're using.

I have to pay for Netflix. That's not free.  I even have to Pay a greedy company to get the Netflix to my house after I'm ALREADY paying for Netflix.  What's all this 'free' internet you keep talking about?

All that free stuff on the Internet is free because of the ads.  You should thank me for sacrificing my eyeballs to keep your internet experience free.

The targeted ads provide interesting insights sometimes.  I buy outdoor stuff for my backpacking hobby.  Apparently that tells the advertisers that I also need holsters, body armor, and all manner of tactical bags, flashlights, hatchets, etc.  There must be a lot of people who's outdoor hobby is preparing for war.   Or do hunters have a strong preference for tactical styles?

People still browse with ads?

I have a field tech who uses Brave, he looked over my shoulder while I was doing something on my laptop and said “oh, is that what a browser looks like with ads?”

I hoped that Chromium Edge would fix all the stuff that only works in Chrome (it mostly does) but let me still give Google a symbolic middle finger.

 

Firefox triggered me and I cancelled it.

I recently purchased an HP laptop...kept trying to install Edge...I use Chrome and IE depending on apps...I hate Win 10...

OK, I realize nobody uses Edge anymore.  But tonight it crashes on me every time I start typing app.preseem.com in the address bar.  Actually, about half the stuff I type triggers a crash.

 

It’s not just me:
