After working with Microsoft, we believe that we have found a solution that allows you to keep the critical Microsoft Security Update installed. It appears that this issue can be resolved by enabling "Link Layer Multi-cast Name Resolution" (LLMNR). This is a Windows Group Policy that many users have disabled over the years. Re-enabling it seems to restore proper IP Address resolution which in turn restores connectivity to the Dentrix Database. To enable LLMNR, follow the steps below: https://hsione.force.com/dentrixguest/s/article/Unable-To-Ac...
That's my point, You don't pin Bing first however. After you pin the first set of sites it then shows the option to pin the search engine that does less than 5% of searches in the US. ;).
My point here is that it pretends to be neutral and allows Reddit, Fb, and Youtube...But google is nowhere to be found.
I've been avoiding Google for a while. Its search results have become significantly less quality than DuckDuckGo -- which I hear is a rebranded Bing anyway.
The fact that they regularly "accidentally" reset the default browser or "suggest" Edge on my Windows 10 machine is probably helping those numbers a lot.
How often have you had windows switch your default browser? Genuinely curious as I've been using Windows 10 since release and have never had my default browser switched away from Firefox.
I've been on w10 since release too, and i can't recall it ever changing default apps. I also don't have the cmd adds or the task bar adds these people are talking about either.
Ironically Firefox's privacy orientated features may make it appear artificially unpopular in certain rankings.
For example Wikimedia shows Firefox at 12%~ of desktop browser usage whereas W3Counter has it at only 6.1% and StatCounter 7.95%. With the latter two being JavaScript based.
No idea what Edge's vertical tabs look like, but I like vertical tabs in Firefox because it lets you have simultaneously on screen a ton of open tabs without reducing the tab's size.
I don't care about the loss of horizontal space most of the time. I have a 16:9 screen and most web pages grow vertically anyway.
As a matter of fact I use a vertical Windows taskbar as well, since it lets me have many applications open while still displaying their window titles. It's not usual for me to have 5 file explorer windows open, and their taskbar buttons won't combine.
Yes precisely, standard tabs get unusable quickly. I know some people can deal with dozens of tabs shrunken down to the size of a favicon, but I can't.
I wish vertical tabs were a standard option on all browsers, especially on Firefox where you need userchrome hacking on top of an extension to get something usable — userchrome css is deprecated and going away, which means integration deeper than is offered by extensions will be necessary in the future.
It is possible to display more than one application on screen at arbitrary sizes, so the shape of the window should be what matters, not the shape of the display. Browsing maximized on a 27" widescreen display is an uncomfortable waste of space. Vertical tabs or not.
Especially if you have an ultra wide screen this becomes really noticeable. Vertical real estate is precious (and which way do pages/phones scroll?) - but horizontal is not.
They won't remove it outright but we will get the option to collapse it. I've been using this mode on Canary ever since it landed and I honestly love it. Currently it's hidden behind a flag in pre-release builds but Stable should get it too in a matter of weeks.
Yeah, but that's Firefox and Edge fighting over scraps while Chrome, which has more than four times the market share of both of them combined (67% vs. 8% each), is still eating their lunch...
Edge is perfect for Windows or Microsoft 365 shops, and it's now the default Windows browser so obviously it helps. The suggestions are so bad, I would be suprised if it did anything other than pissing people off.
