Isn't MS's browser just Chromium? Weird to add them to the list when they don't build a browser any more. Why not add Brave, etc?
- t0ps0il 2y ago> Weird to add them to the list when they don't build a browser any more It seems like their browser engine is still being supported for use in "Universal Windows Platform" apps, or at least that's what Wikipedia says. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdgeHTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EdgeHTML
- floydnoel 2y agosure ok, you can still use it in UWP webviews (but you can also use the chromium version). but that seems like a really insignificant application compared to the rest of the browsers being listed.
- not_a_bot_4sho 2y ago> Isn't MS's browser just Chromium? No. It's based on Chromium. It has quite a bit on functionally that's not available on Chrome or Chromium.
- floydnoel 2y agofor the purposes of this discussion, irrelevant. we are talking about JS implementations. extra bookmarking features or copilot slop isn't a factor.
- stevefan1999 2y agoWell, at least I can still install ublock origin on Edge, but I can't do that on Vanilla Chromium (yep, that manifest v3 thing is enabled by default for Chromium in Google's flavor)

- JavierFlores09 2y agoit only seems right to mention them, after all they did have the most used JS implementation back in the day, even if it is barely used nowadays.
