Yeah but sometimes it's the ESR version which is super slow to get feature updates. Though I suppose that's fair for distros intended for server or other enterprise applications.
My work stuff wont work in firefox, yeah that's a new fun enterprise thing. In any case I use edge on osx for those few sites, firefox for everything else.

Why are you guys doing default installs? Setup you preseeds and get what you want.
why do windows users install chrome?
i don't get it, edge comes preinstalled on windows and it's chromium-based.
If you're gonna go though the trouble of installing a browser, why switch Microsoft for Google? They're both evil and Edge actually performs significantly better than Chrome somehow (they're basically the same I don't get it).
Install freaking Firefox.
If you’re gonna go though the trouble of installing a browser, why switch Microsoft for Google?
Exactly I don't get it, the only explanation I can think of is that they have Chrome on their phone and want to sync it or something?
It's just momentum. Chrome was THE advised browser for a long time and people are just used to it.
