Both options are exploitative anti-user monopolies, and both Chrome and Edge are the same browser engine under different corporate skins that aggressively violate your privacy in numerous ways for their own gain. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] smpl@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Doug7070@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Even if Edge was marginally better than Chrome (it's not), allowing monopolistic practices simply for the sake of slightly evening out a corporate race to the bottom is not a good standard. The actual solution is a browser like Firefox that actually has some remote respect and business interest in user privacy, and to aggressively litigate both Microsoft and Google for the use of their dominant service platforms to cross-promote their other products to captive audiences. permalink fedilink source parent
