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 addit

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
