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.
