In one sense, sure.
But in another sense Edge taking Chrome's tabs means Microsoft is getting insight into Google's data. A lot of Apple's defenses seem really targeted at reducing the ability of Microsoft, Google, and Meta to extract value from Apple's users. Apple sees the union of all the app data, but their competitors can't put together that picture. So in that sense, Edge eating Chrome data may be the sort of thing they're looking to prevent.

- xwolfi 3y agoThey are a cash flow generating financial product, like a bond ETF. Apple packages users, resell them to the highest bidder, and interest is collected as return on investment from the payments users make. Ofc, like a bond, a user pays for a reason: he gets something out of the facility provided by Apple, in kind.
