    Can someone make a comment on if and how chromium development changed since Edge uses it? I often hear that Google dictates chormium dev, but what about MS? Are they doing dev work, too?

    But sadly, in privacy matters their interests are likely aligned, so that we can expect to be it further hollowed.

      they’re 100% doing dev work at ms, afaik their contributions are public because chromium is an open source project. and i think it would be very beneficial for larger amounts of people to use edge (only if they’re dead set on not using firefox though) because having two different companies compete on that is still better than just having google have a monopoly.

      The Edge team has made a lot of major contributions to Chromium over the past few years.
