> Attacking author's persona and not the technology itself really reeks of bias Some people can separate creation from creator, and some people feel it's the fruit of a poisonous tree. I'm personally not sure I'm convinced which is the better view. Since it's their personal blog … I think they're entitled to express that view, there? They still listed that browser, and it's inherently Googleable… Regardless, "bias" doesn't seem to me to be the right word here. (To describe the blogger, given that their remarks appear based on observed evidence, not prejudice.)

It is not only that I think. The author makes more shallow opinionanated arguments. Title says 'browsers are weird'. Edge is for unopinionated Windows users. Author writes and thinks in labels. Focuses on emotiions and dramas instead of using science and engineering to compare. It may be a private blog, but it does not appear to be that interesting in merit.

[1] a utopian socialist variant of 'scientific socialism' in which economic values have been replaced by social ones. Like its counterpart any attempt at implementing these ideas in the real world end up in failure since the inhabitants of the real world do not behave according to how the models predict they should - neither Homo Sovieticus nor Homo Arcopluvius exist in the real world.
