<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The year that the internet stagnated as everything was Internet Explorer 6.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="814" height="383" src="https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/downloading-new-edge.png" alt="" class="wp-image-9486" srcset="https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/downloading-new-edge.png 814w, https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/downloading-new-edge-300x141.png 300w, https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/downloading-new-edge-768x361.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So I went ahead and did it, installed the new version of Edge that uses <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)">chronium</a>.  Firefox slit it&#8217;s own throat trying desperately to suppress Gab&#8217;s <a href="https://dissenter.com/">dissenter plugin</a>, just as  Google has done it&#8217;s best to prevent ad blockers like <a href="https://adnauseam.io/">AdNauseam</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s kind of funny, but Edge doesn&#8217;t complain about loading extensions.  It isn&#8217;t trying to control anything, it &#8216;just works&#8217;.  Maybe it&#8217;s a side effect of Microsoft playing catch up, and too busy to start policing extensions, and user expandability.  I&#8217;ve read so many things online about how Word is going to police English grammar into being more PC, so I guess it&#8217;s only a matter of time until they decide that user&#8217;s can just load whatever 3rd party software they want. There is just too many of these crap walled gardens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I kind of liked it when there was a more &#8216;open&#8217; internet, but with the shuttering of YTMND.com, the old internet is gone.  Facebook is absolute cancer, and the long reach of Google is just beyond creepy.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="542" src="https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Edge-Insider-1024x542.png" alt="" class="wp-image-9487" srcset="https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Edge-Insider-1024x542.png 1024w, https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Edge-Insider-300x159.png 300w, https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Edge-Insider-768x407.png 768w, https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Edge-Insider-1200x635.png 1200w, https://virtuallyfun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Edge-Insider.png 1462w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I couldn&#8217;t imagine using Canary, but Dev seems fine.  I guess it&#8217;s not old enough for the official Beta yet.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ouch, <a href="http://nikcub-static.appspot.com/logging-out-of-facebook-is-not-enough">apparently</a> even if you logout, you&#8217;ll still be tracked by sites that have the &#8216;like&#8217; button&#8230;</p>
<p>Well that just sounds creepy so I&#8217;ll remove them from my site. Â I don&#8217;t think there was all that many people mentioning this blog on facebook outside of some brief &#8216;<a href="https://virtuallyfun.com/?p=905">save officer spock</a>&#8216; thing but at the same point I don&#8217;t want to participate in some larger big brother thing.</p>
<p>I just hope G+ doesn&#8217;t do anything like that (haha!)</p>
