Edge is just chromium, so what's the big deal.

It's all about who gets to read along with you as you browse the web, plan your trips, share poignant memories and photos...

Some people want that creepily unknown corporate employee to be a Microsoft employee. Some prefer a Google employee, plus whoever Google is selling that information, over and over, to.

Some weirdos even prefer a browser without trackers. /s

Chrome has Google search. Edge has Bing. It's about financial prospects.
