For me, it was perhaps simple-scan, a very simple and efficient GUI to scan documents. I used it with my Brother printer / scanner and it works like a charm. Especially since I do not scan stuff often, so a program with more complex UI would have the effect that I forget how to use it until the next time.

      I opened Edge on a fresh install a couple days ago. The amount of things flashing and spinning and popping up trying to grab my attention actually gave me nausea.

      And I don’t mean (just) ads, I mean even the starting page with all the news, weather, random popups telling me things i can do with Edge, the dark patterns as soon as I searched for Firefox in Bing, and so on.

      The thought that there’s even a single human in the process of developing and maintaining that browser is incredible to me.

      But well, I suppose some people do enjoy it. Just beware it won’t be as fast on Linux as it is in Windows since it isn’t as thoroughly integrated into the OS.

        I honestly like it due to ehat it offerd and how it looks. And it’s kinda optimized. Once V3 rolls in thiugh, I am aiming at Floorp.

        Just switching to new OS and new browser seems kinda meh.

        I use Edge on my Ubuntu setup. Tried all the browsers that integrate with KeepassXC and Edge won. It’s the only browser that has a nice UI with tabs on a sidebar, decent performance, nice devtools and is not doing shady shit like Vivaldi.

          What shady shit is Vivaldi doing? I’m out of the loop.

            They add referral codes to your sessions on Amazon and a like. This way all your purchases are feeding their ref accounts.

            It’s not that bad practice if they’d do it as opt-in. I never consented to this and only figured out once when I looked at networking tab.
