Edge is Chromium-based. It’s also not (functionally) half bad, because, well, it’s chromium based, but that obviously comes with all the other drawbacks
It’s moreso that it’s under Microsoft’s thumb. See all the tech companies are unreliable and out for you data but Microsoft also consistently fumbles on everything. They made Windows and Office then just stopped doing anything new and kept making their old products worse.
Xbox is practically dead, they bought Minecraft and you can feel the vultures circling overhead, even the AI bubble they’re just funding OpenAI and making slight adjustments for their own versions.
I’m planning on jumping ship to Linux when I make a new PC. Only thing Microsoft I even consider using nowadays is VScode.
My main criteria for a browser is not being Chrome or Chromium based.
This leaves my only options being Firefox and it’s forks.
Or Microsoft Edge which stifles laughter I’m not gonna do.
Currently on Firefox but might give Librewolf a try.
Edit: I’ve been told Edge is also Chromium based now, the Firefox ecosystem really is the last holdout huh?
There’s always Netscape…
Firefox and maybe Ladybird (if it doesn’t turn into vaporware)
Edge has been Chromium based since 2020.
What was it based on before that? When windows 10 initially launched. I know old edge sucked, but what engine did it use?
EdgeHTML
They should open source it.
Uhhh, Internet explorer?

You can jump to vscodium if you want code but with telemetry
I use both librewolf and water fox and love them both
Waterfox has been great so far!
You have Safari and its forks.
Palemoon is another option.
Lol, nobody uses Safari, not even iOS users
Safari breaks everything though. Tons of sites out there flat out do not work properly with safari and at this point we all know that’s intentional.
