what do you think about the new Edge browser from Microsoft, its based on Chromium.
So you would get most benefits of chrome but its from Microsoft, which personally, I trust more than I trust Google.

- jakear 7y agoDo we know how much the new Edge will phone home to Google? What about raw chromium? Alternatively, are there settings you can change in Chrome to prohibit it talking back to G?
- pier25 7y agoI installed the beta for macOS and I'm not happy about it. It installed a daemon that updates Edge even when the browser is closed. Even if you delete the .app the daemon keeps running and when there is a new update it downloads it and installs it. There are no settings to change this intrusive behavior. I sent feedback and complained on Twitter. Apparently the team is looking on it.
