Me, a foss contributer choosing edge because it's a more convenient browser ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Shit like this is why it's 25 years later and we're still joking about year of the Linux desktop.

At some point just accept your objectives are mutually exclusive.

More power to you! Edge isn't bad, it just has bad affiliations. I'll keep using Firefox though :^)

Edge is Chromium. Won't it be subject to the same Web Integrity API features that Chrome is rolling out?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yup. I'm just saying that Edge is no worse than Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, etc. that all use the same Google-controlled rendering engine.

As a web dev, you do have to test against the Chromium engine, and in that context, Edge is not inherently worse than Chrome itself.
