Edge is a reskinned Chromium browser with Microsoft tracking and telemetry baked in. Just because they have a VPN now, it doesn't make it any more private/secure. Why do people use Edge? If you're any way privacy conscious you wouldn't use Microsoft products.
If you're using Windows, what's the point of using Chrome if you already have Edge?
You're already sending data to MS anyway
What's the point of using either of those when you could use an ungoogled chromium build?
(I use Firefox, but if I were to use a chromium browser it wouldn't be Edge or Chrome...)
Because you gotta trust people behind ungoogled Chromium
I don't know them, so I don't trust them.
Chromium is open source, and so you can see what the changelog is etc.. You don't need to trust the people when you can read the source yourself ?
also "ungoogled Chromium" - The process is Chrome is Googled Chromium.
Chromium was a thing before Google-Chrome..
Edit: My mistake: Chrome and Chromium were release the same time.
You can download Chromium[0], but people tend to be referring to the project called "Ungoogled Chromium"[1] to remove any calls to Google domains, eg. safe browsing, which are still present in Chromium.
