The performance was really good, compatibility with standards was actually the best IMHO. Every thing (SVG) I tried that got past Firefox and Chrome worked on Edge without modification.
And yeah, we need the competition.
It's not like Microsoft is running out of money. Guess they need their most talented people doing something else.

Google becoming the ultimate web monopolist seems scary. I just hope Mozilla is going to be able to keep competing (but I'm not sure how long will it stand, a neighbour post says "Firefox desktop market share now below 9%"). I wish MS could choose the Mozilla engine instead...

- taf2 8y agoIt's a good thing more talented people can focus on development of an open source browser. That means more people can share in a consistent and reliable way. It also means much like Mozilla has been innovating with Servo we're seeing amazing things from that and it doesn't have to be X vs Y. MS vs Google. It can be a collective working towards a better common platform for everyone.
