- tzs 4y agoMicrosoft has a big advantage though due to their size. Microsoft has the resources to fix bugs, implement new standards, and add new features themselves without using any new Google work. They've got the resources to make it so the relationship of Edge to Chromium is like the relationship of Chromium to Webkit, or of Webkit to KHTML. Small companies making a fork of a big Google project like Chromium or Android are much less likely to be able to do that. They are likely to have to keep porting over much from Google to keep their project relevant. That makes it a lot harder to really challenge the Google project.
