IDK, I do think it’s crazy to say you’re surprised people use Edge. As you said, it’s the default on Windows, so a very large number of Windows users will be using it because they haven’t bothered to change the default.
I guess I could see it as hyperbole, but not as an actual, serious belief.
As opposed to what? I’ve tried to switch to DDG so many times, but its lack of explicit phrase searching makes it practically useless. I just end up using g! all the time until I finally just give up and switch back.
Yeah… if I search for Terraform stuff on the Big G, I get shit-tons of LLM-generated crapsites. If I search for the TF stuff I’m working on at DDG, I don’t get anything.
Im amazed people still use google for a search engine.

I mean, edge is the default browser and it’s not like you’d be crazy to say “l’m surprised people use edge as their internet browser”
But yeah, it’s not surprising people use Google, it is surprising people don’t know alternatives are not horrible anymore and Google generally is.

Default search engine on Chrome, iOS and Android.
Most people don’t understand how bad Google has become. It’s like not noticing how tall you’ve grown until your grandmother points it out.
