I also use it at work and it really sucks. I also have Chrome on my work computer, but for everything work-related I have to use Edge. Like E-Mails and Sharepoint-Stuff. Edge’s startup time is at least 4 times Chrome’s startup time. Sites load extremely slow directly compared to Chrome. No Adblockers. I really don’t like this.
ublock origin is published to the addon 'store' for edge and opera, in addition to mozilla's (firefox and thunderbird) and chrome. links to all are on the repo's main page https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock

That's a decision your IT department made. I use Firefox with all of that at work.
Can confirm. I also have to use Sharepoint with certain groups, and it works just fine. The web interface for Outlook works just fine as well.
I also have to use Google at work, and everything I’ve used works within Firefox.
I think it’s important to point this out because a lot of people seem to be laboring under the misconception that the sites they use will break in Firefox. The only sites I’ve found that don’t work are things like Bing AI, which work fine if you switch the user agent header.
The problem isn’t Edge in itself. It is good if there are many browsers. But when Javascript became more than just a play thing, all of a sudden browser slowly moved to chromium as an engine. There used to be Opera, IE, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Chrome with each their own browser engine. Now there is only Chromium/Blink, Safari and Firefox left. Google is way too powerful with their marketshare. They constantly try to implement features that are bad for users.
I’ve started using Firefox at work, too. Unfortunately, I still have to use a lot of the Google sites at work, but they all work flawlessly within Firefox and uBO.
The problem is that it will take ages for them to get any adoption in a new browser. Firefox used to be a big player and then chrome came along. Now most of the people don’t even try Firefox anymore. I still hear a lot of “Firefox is slow” sentiment even though it isn’t.
I heard some phone did that, but laptops as far as I am aware neither windows or MacOS supports it maybe some display-manager on Linux with custom patches would do it.
Windows has so many settings in local group policy editor for passwords, I’m sure there’s a way to detect failed attempts with a script in task scheduler and take a picture. I don’t know how myself but it’s probably possible. Idk about Mac. And for Linux, you can probably have it install a tracker on the thief’s phone over bluetooth…
Enough is enough. It’s time to make this year the year of Linux. /s
I mean, I mostly enjoy my FOSS (there are some issues). At least I don’t have to pay thousands of dollars or pirate it (and hiding it) only to find out that it’s Linux incompatible.
Did you know that “to google something” is the proprietary version of “to search something”? See!!! Proprietary software has integrated into conversational phrases! It’s time to stop!
I envy you because I don’t know how to use Inkscape properly (it looks very complicated). I don’t really need/use it, so yeah.
True. They created x265 afaik. I literally only layer libavcodec-freeworld on Fedora Kinoite and thats all I need. VLC does everything. BUUUT the Flatpak is not official! And there is already VLC 4.0 out! So helping the Dev is always important, and Videolan would make it officially maintained like the snap, if the Flatpak devs approach them and explain everything etc.
Oh. I was reading OP’s problem, and didn’t understand. I’ve been on Fedora for a while and never experienced this, but VLC is one of the first programs I install on every new distro.
I just remembered that Bram Moolenaar, the author of vim has recently died…
He was a real good person. Back when he released his first vim for Amiga Computers I exchanged some emails with him and he handled even my less smart suggestions very professional.
I just take the chance to remind everyone to spend some money for his Uganda Charity.
It’s definitely not, at least by my math. 300/8 (for an 8 hour day) is 37.5 an hour. 40 hours a week makes this 1,500. 52 weeks in a year is 78,000. A much lower number.
