I don't care what browser you use
Also I like Edge. It works great and Google can kiss my butt
If Google does push web DRM through, edge will surely adopt it. The best time to switch is now and there will no second best time if they actually do it.
Edge is based off chromium, same "engine" that powers Chrome. As most browsers are.
Yeah, it's basically chrome without the bloat, less spying, and without the prohibition on ad blockers
Are we talking about the same browser?
Edge has all of those things in spades.
It spies for someone else though
Yeah, great alternative /s
Not really.
Oh yes. Just because it's for Microsoft doesn't change Edges purpose. Hell, it's the foremost premise for every newer OS they've released, browser included. There's a reason Microsoft is just "giving upgrades away for free."
Rage bait?
Don't need that if you make the OS.
That's fine but the point of the post is that you have to use a non chromium browser to avoid wei. Once it's implemented it's likely that edge and others will have to implement it too.
No, actually you are kissing googles but every day.
How big is your truck?
Microsoft is at least as bad as Google and has been for quite a bit longer.
Correct. We would not even be here if corporations could be trusted. Everyone needs to get this somehow. Federation (open source project development is kind of federated as well) is the key. Actually, we‘re having the same oppressive authoritarianism that gave birth to federated states. Looks like a pattern.
