It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. Given Google's overwhelming presence in the browser market, this is unconscionable. We should all despise the ad-tech business, and have no sympathy for the companies getting whacked by Google's actions. But we should not permit one monopolist to replace them all. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/year-review-googles-corporate-paternalism-browser

    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.
