Actually Chrome did that a couple of years ago.
I'm trying to avoid Google as possible (yep, I'm one of those weirdos who
had chosen next phone based on CyanogenMod support, after the epic fail of
OpenMoko, and gets apps only from f-droid.org, no Play, etc.)
so I don't really mind, but since you mention it - ok, just another reason
to not use it
I'm not sure Microsoft's Edge browser supports Java,
no - https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/win10_faq.xml
so she's probably stuck with IE11
on Linux?
until her bank changes their technology.
and why the bank ought to change something that works pretty well?
- long live SeaMonkey ...
