Adobe Express doesn't work in Firefox
(lemmy.ca)
When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn't play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.
Windows is such a shitty platform, with each update they force you to use their browser it's insane, the ammount of popups and shit they push onto you it's just crazy. If you browse in windows they sometimes give you web results that you can only see inside of Bing where you get 10 popups to get Edge, now they are introducing some AI Copilot assistant built in into windows that also forces you to use Bing and install Edge in every step you take.
If you want to use Firefox I highly recommend using Linux since Windows is spying to you anway so it's not even worth bothering with not using Edge on there.
I have no idea what Windows does since I use Linux exclusively at home and macOS exclusively at work, but this sounds... unlikely.
Could you clarify a few things?
Do you mean using the system search thing that's usually used for launching programs? Or so you mean something built in to apps? Or Cortana search assistant (or whatever they call it now)?
Can you change the default search engine? I use Firefox w/ DuckDuckGo, and I've never used any kind of OS search (I disable it when possible).
Does Windows reach inside Firefox somehow?
And yeah, I get that Microsoft is spying on its users, that's a given, but I don't see how that translates to switching OSes just to use a browser. There are plenty of other reasons to use Firefox aside from some privacy protections (and Firefox really isn't all that private by default, it just blocks some cookies), such as:
What. I'm no Windows fanboy but this is FUD.
