Because they don't need to. The money is still rolling in, why would a browser they'd offer for free bring in any more revenue?

They don't give a shit about quality, all they care about is hoarding patents

They dont need to make a browser to harvest data, they made windows 10 do it instead.

edge isnt that bad

It would cause them a shitload of problems because they would be slapped with a "monipolization" suit if they ever shipped a browser as good as Chrome with Windows. Same reason they left Media Player a shit. They need to stay in their lane (os development) in order to avoid headaches. Being too successful fucks you up.

Worse than that: why are billion dollar multinationals still using ie as their main browser?

Nobody is targeting IE since most people don't use it. Security by obscurity, like Linux.

It's sad, really.

Say what you want about Microsoft's Edge browser and their Bing search engine: They are both really successful products. I'm not implying they are good or even decent. There is a really large amount of computer illiterate people who will use whatever browser comes pre-installed with the operating system and the same people will use it's default search-engine. As a percentage it's just 16% using either MSIE or Edge but that is a fairly large amount of people.

How does any browser bring in any revenue then?

>Nobody is targeting IE
I work as a developer for a defense contractor and we target IE since our customers (the government) use it exclusively.
Thank god it's IE11, though, so it's not nearly as bad as IE8 or 7 would have been.

Some of our legacy applications only work in IE6, so they get run in an emulator that Microsoft added to modern IE.

By having Edge be useful for more than installing a new browser, they can get Bing more marketshare and therefore get more ad revenue.

Plus, it gives them much better ability to promote other products by integrating features with Edge.

are you retarded?

kek

Edge is alright, I use it on my Atom tablet because it performs better than any other by far.
It's also got ublock and tampermonkey so it's decent extensions-wise.

Bing is literally GODLY for porn.

>I spend so much time searching for specific porn scenarios on Bing that I've gotten like $100 in Amazon gift cards from the rewards thing

>rewards thing
Tell me more, fren.

It just works.

It gives you points for searching, after so many you can buy things with it. Gift cards, contest entries, etc. It's pretty neat if you're a NEET with a porn addiction.

fuck you bing is awesome

I couldn't get Team Foundation Server (a microsoft product) to work in Edge. It's not terrible, but it's a joke compared to Firefox and Chrome.

This sounds exactly like me. Thanks for the tip, but it appears in my country the reward options are shit and what I want most (Amazon cards) aren't available.

they don't. win 10 had 3 CUs pulled, two induced data loss. it's pathetic because they moved to an agile process supported by h1b's and calcoders from calcuttahhhhhh.
