I'm not sure
Microsoft flavored Chromium>ChromeWell now you know at least
It runs with less overhead/it’s faster
No I knew already
I was talking in terms of privacy
I can’t say if telemetry is different between packages but at least on Windows there’s no reason to collect as much as Google because they collect it at the OS level
That gives potential for them collecting less on other platforms
It's the exact opposite imo. I'd imagine that doesn't really make a difference considering Edge is cross platform, and their goal is to collect as much data as possible.
Plus, they just collect different kinds of info through Windows. So Windows + Edge is even worse, especially since it integrates just as deeply into Windows as IE did years back.
It’s a waste of resources
All network requests already go through so many layers in Windows
Bold of you to assume that Microsoft cares about resources. Have you seen how much RAM Windows 11 uses at idle? (not including cached data)
The whole OS is a waste of resources.
Their resources not yours
Our resources
queue USSR anthem
That's basically the whole OS at this point, no?
btw, it is included in windows so I don't have to spend time to download other browsers
