False, Edge is actually decent product and viable replacement for Chromium based browsers.
I use Firefox daily, but at work Edge is my way to go
- cursuve 8mo agoAgree. I gave it a shot recently after being a hater of MS browsers since the 90's and am actually very happy with it. I love the Workspaces and syncing features. Arc had something similar, but Arc started to stall out remain frustratingly buggy. Edge is now my go-to...
- jazzyjackson 8mo agoEdge /is/ a chromium based browser, it makes sense people wouldn't feel the need to download Chrome unless they want to use their google account to sync devices.

- Onawa 8mo agoI really enjoyed Edge after it launched, but when they stuffed in all of the shopping plugins and integrations I bailed on it.
- Tempest1981 8mo agoDoes Edge share your browsing history with Microsoft?
- romanovcode 8mo agoYes, also it's not even encrypted. It's the worst case of all major browsers. Firefox & Safari: E2E encrypted, you hold keys, not possible for Mozilla/Apple to access it. Chrome: Encrypted, Google holds keys meaning it is useless, they can read and give away the data. One can enable sync passphrase which would enable E2E however. Edge: Nothing is encrypted and no way to change this.
- trinix912 8mo agoHave you forgotten about Edge 1 that was the evolution of IE’s Trident rendering engine? It failed that’s why they then started with the rebranded Chromium Edge 2.
- jamesnorden 8mo agoDid you miss the 2019 news that Edge switched to just being another Chromium reskin?
