MS Edge browser wants really hard to stay
theverge.com
Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it's...how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?... then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like...Are you really sure you wanna use Firefox to view websites that start with the letter A?
Fuck Microsoft! Give us a fucking break you assholes! You are this turd of a company that is just stuck to company's assholes and that's the only reason any fly will ever touch your software.

It is different. Chrome automatically opted US users into their new "topics" advertising feature which allows Google to use your browser history to assign topics of interest to you and use it to deliver targeted adverts at you.

A wolkswagen golf and a jeep renegade are 2 different cars, but they are still cars...
If chrome is a blue jeep renegade, edge is a green jeep renegade, with a GM logo and a different gps system
Are suggesting that nobody should use any web browsers because they are all web browsers?
No, I am saying that edge is literally chrome with a different logo and a tracking system that aggregates and sends the same type of data to a different server (a MS server).
If someone feels like chrome is a bad browser, they should use Firefox, which isn't Chrome
I don't disagree about Firefox, but if someone has to use a chromium based browser, Edge is far better than Google Chrome
If someone needs to use chromium based, why not chromium? Ungoogled chromium? Potentialy brave? There are plenty options and Chrome with Edge ties for the last place.
Brave? The browser embedding crypto wallets and redirecting urls through affiliate links?
It's also besides the point. The point is Chrome is one of the worst and using Edge to download Chrome is like trading tobacco for meth and saying "at least I'm not smoking"
That's why I said "potentially". And even if all this is true, it's still better than chrome or edge privacy nightmares...
Tastes... I use both at work and I don't see a difference.
What one should understand is that by using edge they cannot really complain about Google gathering their data. Edge does the same and send them to a different recipient
