Do they really need Edge to gather your data if they own the OS?
> Maintaining two separate browser environments is a burden
For my personal use I have 4 distinct browsers (FF, Brave, Ungoogled Chromium and Falkon) but I guess I'm probably an outlier ;)

- richiebful1 5y agoWhat's your reasoning behind using 4 separate browsers? I've tried Brave and Chromium but I don't see any reason to switch between my usual Firefox and another browser (unless a webpage doesn't work at all on FF)
- tatersolid 5y agoEveryone in a technical role at my company uses one “normal user” browser and one “privileged account” browser. This is to avoid confusion; no chance of doing some administrative action accidentally because I recognize the different UI elements of Firefox vs. Edge. Browser containers/profiles/whatever don’t present visually different-enough UX to each distinct persona.
