Google new special email when users sign in via Microsoft's new Edge browser instead of via Chrome

Dateline today... verbatim

Google doesn't seem to like when you use the new Microsoft Edge for Gmail.

I have no problem logging into Gmail with Edge but I'm not using a new
PC. (I do get some occasional nagging about Chrome when I use Google
though.)

They have cause to be worried as I have found it excellent.

These 'Techdows' guys should be more worried about their *own*
stuff/site, because when I - in Chrome mind you :-) - go to that page, I
get an *ad* which says:

"Download Chrome Browser

Install Offline, Device-based Group Policies & More. Deploy Chrome MSI"

And yes, it's an ad, not an included screen-shot, because the close
('X') and AdChoices buttons are active.

This blatant hypocrisy happens all the time, some folk(s) blathering
how evil something is and at the same time bombarding you with with ads
which are equally 'evil' or worse.

I saw the other posts about the hypocrisy, which I don't disagree with.
o Google is apparently afraid of the new Chromium-based Edge browser
o Microsoft would love us to switch to their Chromium-based Edge browser

Your post seems balanced as I, myself, use many browsers also.
o Do we have (yet) an actionable list of all free Windows & Linux
web browsers (and their main purpose)?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/krNaXA-YEbw

One browser I do _not_ use, is "Chrome" per se, for privacy reasons, but
there are _many_ Chromium-based browsers out there, one of the newest of
which is, I think, the "new" Edge browser in the latest Windows 10 v2004
(which I haven't tried yet).

Why do you insist on putting a useless, out-of-place "o" in front of sentences
rather than terminating them with proper punctuation?

o It is stupid
o It is useless
o It is likely the sign of a diseased mind
o It is annoying as hell to normal people

Hi Roger Blake,

Trolls complain about punctuation because they can't comprehend any topic.
o Bullet Point: an item in a list that has a large dot in front of it

Never in the entire history of Usenet, has Roger Blake ever added value.
o Not even once.

You had to change charset to UTF-8 to do that. My plain-text editor
won't handle it as you can see. Far preferable to use only ASCII in
newsgroup posts.

I use '-' or '*' for bullet points, e.g:

- one
- two
- three

* one
* two
* three

Hi wasbit,

You are an adult, unlike Roger Blake, so an adult conversation is possible
with you, where you'll note I respond differently to adults (like you,
occam, Paul, etc.) than to worthless pieces of ****, like Roger Blake is.

My terse response to the known *worthless piece of **** Roger Blake* was
simply to re-affirm he has _never_ once in his entire life _ever_ added any
value to any post or thread on this newsgroup, which is easily shown in the
record.

Note I ignore these worthless pieces of **** in other threads.
o They only get responses from me when they directly respond to me.

Those always utterly worthless pieces of **** like Roger Blake (Rene
Lamontagne, Char Jackson, Cybe(r) Wizard, et al.) aside...

To your point, you'll note I try to organize my posts such that there are
"bullet points", where people can complain about the shape, size, or color
of those bullets, but it's like someone spending hours on a powerpoint
presentation, and the only thing "some" people can comment on is the shape
or size of the bullet point itself.

Regarding the period (aka "full stop" in Br-English) as a bullet point, I
feel it would work as well, for sure, but it doesn't seem "better" to me.

To be clear, we've discussed this in the past, where the trolls have a
field day with punctuation (since, as stated, they can't ever add topical
value anyway), and yet, those same trolls complain when I change privacy
headers (which means they "think" in doublespeak but don't realize it).

Nonetheless, I am well aware of specific bullet point characters, but it
must be made known that I don't even use a newsreader, per se. My
newsreader is simply a bunch of scripts (that Marek Novotny, among others,
helped write many years ago), where the "front end" is simply "vi" on Linux
and "vim" on Windows.

The "back end" is telnet, and the middle is a bunch of dictionary lookups.
o The point is that the "fancy" bullets don't work in my setup.

Usenet is most useful when adult post with purposefully helpful intentions.

Hi wasbit,

You're an actual adult, unlike the worthless piece of **** Roger Blake
.. So my response to you will be quite different than to Roger Blake.

To the worthless pieces of ****, I simply ignore them in other threads
.. I only defend from the worthless pieces of **** when they attack me.

Nonetheless, I repeat, we've been through this before (multiple times).
.. I am very well aware of special bullet-point characters.

I don't know _how_ those bullet-point characters will show up after my
scripts are done with them, as I even have problems with 'curly' quotes.

Here's your list, cut and pasted, exactly as you posted it:
o • = Alt 7
o â—˜ = Alt 8
o â—‹ = Alt 9
o â—™ = Alt 10

While I've stated this many times over the years, it needs to be made known
that I don't even use a newsreader, per se. My newsreader is simply a bunch
of scripts (that Marek Novotny, among others, helped write many years ago,
originally when I was UNIX, and then it was ported to CentOS, and then to
Ubuntu, and finally, to Windows), where the "front end" is simply "vi" on
Linux and "vim" on Windows.

The "back end" is a ton of Marek's vpn-based scripts, where the final
outout is a simple telnet to the newssserver (in some cases, as in gmane,
it's a sendmail request), while the middle part, including nyms, headers,
killfiles, etc., are simply a bunch of dictionary lookups.

The point is that the "fancy" bullets don't work in my setup.
.. I will only know how _your_ bullets work - after I see this in vim.
