Yes, I'm definitely going to audit some giant as hell CPP code base (diffs) every four weeks. I'd rather write my own browser from scratch

> Yes, I'm definitely going to audit some giant as hell CPP code base (diffs) every four weeks. I've had this discussion with other people too, just because you don't want to doesn't mean you can't. So your point of suspecting something nefarious is moot for me until you can back it up.

  If I do already use Windows, then I'm already relying on MS Using Edge doesn't change much, meanwhile using ungoogled Chromium means that I have to trust additional actors Additionally MS inserting e.g "backdoor" into Edge could cost them a lot of in PR damages meanwhile what if ungoogled chromium inserted some kind of "backdoor"? I don't even know people who maintain it, so I wouldn't even be able to break their windows or throw eggs at them

    > I don't even know people who maintain it, so I wouldn't even be able to break their windows or throw eggs at them I hear your point on this, it's pretty hard to put your faith in a browser that updates regularly and not just for schema reasons. But you seem okay with Edge.. > Using Edge doesn't change much, meanwhile using ungoogled Chromium means that I have to trust additional actors This is where I'm confused. > Additionally MS inserting e.g "backdoor" into Edge could cost them a lot of in PR damages I'm not an M$ hater, they've been incredible. dotNet core is a gift. GoPilot is a good use of whatever we're doing here. But why do you think if they could work a 'backdoor' (without leaks from employees) would actually matter. Their fine would be minimal.. See FB I think we've come full circle. I'm defending your point that Edge might be just another 'Okay' browser.

See FB On the other hand take a look at Intel - they had security issues and not even intentional and there was a lot of dmg to their brand due to all those CPU related vulns in last years
