Edge is the biggest threat to Chrome and Firefox is still great. uBlock Origin does not even work as well in Chrome as it does in FF which will always create demand for alt browsers. I can't deal with with Chrome but if everything else goes away, Edge is fine. Ms is doing exactly what Google did with webkit, what can you do?
- freediver 5y agoOne of the problems with Edge is that it sends 350+ requests "home" to Microsoft on startup (in good-old fashioned way Windows does). A big no-no from a privacy standpoint.

- NullPrefix 5y ago>uBlock Origin does not even work as well in Chrome as it does in FF AFAIK Firefox is the only mobile browser that supports uBlock Origin.
- hu3 5y agoKiwi Browser on Android has support for desktop Chrome extensions, and it's open-source.
- cube00 5y agoGiven Edge is based on Chromium, I don't see how it's Chrome's biggest threat, there's all sorts of tricks Google can pull to cripple Chromium so Edge is also punished. Look at what they've done with Android and the massive "Google Play Services" bolt on. If you try and take away any of its permissions you get a warning that "this may cause basic functionality to stop working"
