Tl;dr: no.
They updated the Lens app (pretty much the best scanning app available) UI and haven’t enshittified it! I call that a win! I wish I could now pin it to a specific version on the play store.
Do they ever?
Moving from a shitty proprietary web renderer to participate in Chromium development was an improvement.
I disagree. Doing so reduced the amount of diversity in rendering engines and reinforced the idea that lazy site owners don’t have to test against more than one browser. That’s a loss for the Web as a whole.
Microsoft: Kills crappy, insecure browser no one used and everyone hated.
Lemmy: BAD!
And now they moved to another crappy engine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what changed? Nothing much, except that they are locked in with Google’s bs.
Nothing changed going from IE Edge to Chromium Edge. Say that with a straight face next time.

It killed the last proprietary engine. It made the web more free.

You’re wrong.
I mean the choice between only two browser engines isn’t what I would call “free” though, especially since Firefox is also pulling more and more bullshit.
He made a good overall point. Just saying he is wrong doesn’t actually make him wrong.
What about WebKit? That makes 3 browser engines although it’s primarily used on Apple devices.

WebKit-GTK is fine, Ladybird and Servo also exist.
The vehement defense of a shitty, proprietary Microsoft browser here is astonishing.

Gecko and Chromium are both fully free software. Old Edge isn’t.

No. It was a very weak defense of proprietary software.
Just saying he is wrong doesn’t actually make him wrong.
Just saying that doesn’t make it wrong but the “argument” is wrong.
Tried that browser on Linux. It crashes when you save a file. It doesn’t let you click on the URL bar to edit it (only keyboard works). “If it compiles, it ships, no testing needed”
The company was literally founded on the principal of “thanks for all the free software I learned on, from this point forward, everyone needs to pay (me) for everything and sharing is bad”. Sort of paraphrased from Bill Gates email to the hobbyists. Then it got big by selling vapourware based on nepotism and then nearly stealing a product to fill the order. Then they got their fingers into legislators and it got worse for everyone.
The dumped legacy protocols and defaults that were insecure. That’s pretty big for a company that historically doesn’t do that.
When was the last time they did anything right? I manage their products and services for a living. It all sucks to some degree. It’s just the default because they cornered the market a long time ago and continue to strangle it to death with legacy garbage. Now they don’t innovate, they acquire other shit to compete where they shouldn’t, fail, rinse and repeat.
So the only win here is that you got to extend your time on Windows 10 for one year. That isn’t saying much because you’re just going to confront the same issues again, a year later. Again, do yourself a favor and grab the Windows 10 version that guarantees you til 2032. By then, you could skip Windows 11 entirely and see what else is on the horizon.

buying into rust was good and will hopefully prove the language further
not going to save them but can make their platform better for those that don’t move to linux
