Look at that shit! Before it was here are your two browsers choose! Now it's...how about for the letter A? Suppose a website starts with an A, would you choose Edge to be your default browser?... then you choose chrome or Firefox, and when you click on a link Edge Pops up with some shit like...Are you really sure you wanna use Firefox to view websites that start with the letter A?

Fuck Microsoft! Give us a fucking break you assholes! You are this turd of a company that is just stuck to company's assholes and that's the only reason any fly will ever touch your software.

If someone needs to use chromium based, why not chromium? Ungoogled chromium? Potentialy brave? There are plenty options and Chrome with Edge ties for the last place.

Brave? The browser embedding crypto wallets and redirecting urls through affiliate links?

It's also besides the point. The point is Chrome is one of the worst and using Edge to download Chrome is like trading tobacco for meth and saying "at least I'm not smoking"

That's why I said "potentially". And even if all this is true, it's still better than chrome or edge privacy nightmares...
