What an unfortunately and uneducated quote. Edge is based on Chromium, same source code as Chrome, Opera, Brave and others. If you guys want to avoid corporations, then use Thor browser as Mozilla Firefox is mostly funded by Google for example, it is not the hippie movement browser you may think. Spreading misleading information without understanding the subject is not nice to the community.
Edge has an "edge" already over Chrome as it has several bugs fixed by Microsoft that the open-source project was dragging their feet to resolve which has so far been implemented in Edge only. Whoever talks bollocks about Edge clearly has no understanding about the underlying technology and most likely use another "chrome like" browser, which is based on the same source code, so what is the point? Any website that works in Chrome, will ALWAYS work on Edge, Opera and Brave. It is the same engine!
Seems you put some on Edge with your comment, LOL
I am with you, Edge sucks, I know several in IT that has had nothing but problems with it...mostly with their custom Web Apps. Not saying a rewrite would not fix their issues, but why, just use a browser that works, problem solved.
haha, I see what you did there

@mephisto_uk 'spreading misleading information' ! Not sure where that came from as my thoughts on Edge through my experience are my own, as are yours. Regardless, as we all continue to state, this is why it's nice when everyone has a choice and a browser agnostic device. Some people like Edge, some hate it, others tolerate it (in whatever flavor). IE isn't fantastic either BUT it's what we have to use right now (or Edge in IE mode as I mentioned) while Dahua and other manufacturers work on improving / supporting other browsers or the agnostic approach I mentioned. All on this forum and elsewhere also have choices in the security field, if you don't like one product, service, FW, platform, we have options based on deployment needs and target requirements from a multitude of manufacturers for a given project or identified need.
Either way, as long as the camera does what it says on the tin from a feature/function perspective towards its security focus thats the key. We have GUI workarounds for now such as NVR configuring the camera, Web GUI using IE, Edge in IE mode, Firefox (with new FW that supports its use) OR booting up old laptops running Win 7 (yep I have a few kicking around of those too). Not perfect but that is why I and others here keep pushing for the changes across all CCTV manufacturers we work with to get this needed support implemented. Remember, we have an advantage on this forum in that that many of us actively work with development teams as we pull apart new cams, systems and associated FW for the forum and our professions, in doing so highlighting bugs, enhancements, improvements, security issues etc. We also identify real-life use cases from the deployments we do that a lot of manufacturers don't take into account. With regards to feedback on bugs, improvements and issues, Dahua has done a TON OF WORK on these, often times within hours of reporting the feedback. Working with Dahua dev directly has led to a lot of positive results for all of us. Yes, on the flip side, I and others have put a LOT (and that is an understatement so I will restate, A LOT) of work into identifying these, finding break points, building solutions and recommendations for Dahua to review/implement but at least we all here have a manufacturer that listens and an additional advocate in
@EMPIRETECANDY who helps keep the spotlight on these and get them prioritized. Doesn't mean everything gets resolved or implemented BUT this collaboration leads to a better end product and experience for all of us, often times before product release/production lines start.
Therefore, personally, I am appreciative of what Dahua is doing to address issues even if some take longer to implement. Don't think for 1 second that I (and I'm sure many others) disagree that browser support is a critical function, it is and addressing the plugin situation is key (have fed this back many times including latest FW releases on new platform). I have faith though that this WILL be addressed by Dahua and others and although they haven't gotten there yet, will do, or risk being non-competitive to their brother/sister competitors focusing on cross platform, cross browser support for more seamless integration in this critical area of security.
