The problem with Chrome dominating is it makes Google ecosystem dominates. With Chrome, you can sync your history with your Google account, it pushes you to use Google services, sends analytics to Google etc.
Edge, even with it's Chromium engine, fixes all that by offering Microsoft's ecosystem.
So yes, changing to Edge does change a lot. And Google will fight to keep Chrome's lead, 100%.
- hakfoo 4y agoThe problem is that even Microsoft with their infinite resources has to play catch up. They have to devote developer hours to removing Google-advantaging features instead of adding their own custom goodies. And even if said goodies take off, they're going to have a hard time getting them merged back to "root Blink" and into the rest of the browser ecosystem.

- suddenexample 4y agoI know Microsoft has earned back a lot of goodwill especially from nerds like us due to some of the stuff they've done with VS Code, GitHub, and gaming, but I trust Google way more to not be a scumbag company. Of all the companies to hoard data, Google is in my view the most trustworthy and the most incentivized to be good stewards of said data.
