I’ve very rarely seen websites rely on new browser specific capabilities, except for demos/showcases. Didn’t Chrome slowly become popular using Google's own marketing channel, search? That’s what I thought. > MS lost it's hold on the web because of regulatory action Well, not only. They objectively made a worse product for decades and used their platform to push it, much more effectively than Google too. They are still pushing Edge hard, with darker patterns than Google imo. In either case, the decision to adopt Chromium wasn’t forced. Microsoft clearly must have been aligned enough on the capability model to not deem it a large risk, and continued to push for Edge just as they did with IE.
