im old enough to remember the browser wars, and this just feels like another crack at the same pinata...Microsoft ultimately refuses to give customers a choice in the matter of browsers and is simply reskinning a copy of chrome out of desperation to keep customers clicking through their product, not googles.
I expect microsoft to release their rebuild of Edge, which will override all user preferences for chrome, advertise itself on the lock screen, and come bolted on with a ton of features and extensions no one asked for because Redmond couldnt help themselves.

- WalterGR 8y agoMicrosoft ultimately refuses to give customers a choice 2008. “Fuck you, Microsoft, for not bundling Firefox or Chrome. Your browser is destroying the web!” 2018. “Fuck you, Microsoft, for bundling Firefox or Chrome. Stopping work on your browser will destroy the web!” Give it a rest. If Microsoft implemented POSIX support, people would grab their torches and pitchforks because MS was actively working to encourage monoculture because it hates customers.
