- Fire up Windows VM
- Wait through the nightmare of installing all the updates
- Fire up Edge
- Go to slack.com
- "your browser is not supported. Download a supported browser or use the Slack app"

yupp.. Windows browser is still the best for downloading Chrome

"fire up edge" - well, that was your worst (though not your first) mistake.

@tosensei well I didn't have much of a choice, did I...

@netikras well, you did have the choice of installing an actual browser _before_ browsing.

@tosensei how do you propose I get this browser in a stock windows setup?

@netikras well, you tried to go to slack with it ;).

On the other hand, edge is just an MS packaged chrome so I do not understand why slack complains.

@ostream sure, I can also scp it into the VM. That's extra and completely unnecessary effort that I'm not willing to take when I can simply open up a preinstalled browser and download Chrome on the spot.

> slack sucks

it does the job for me, so I'm not complaining. Still better than MS Teams and/or email for tech comms
