You'll get a lot of hate here for saying it, but you're not entirely wrong. When they offered free GPT to people running edge I went ahead and loaded it out with my normal compliment of plugins to try it as a secondary browser.

I'm not exactly sure what all they did to it, but it's not just Chrome with the different skin It's notably faster and lighter on the memory footprint.

The reason why I'm not willing to convert to them completely as I don't trust Microsoft with all my data. I'm already keeping as much telemetry from them as I can.

These days I float between Firefox and Brave. Firefox isn't likely to sell my data, and Brave will sell my data but their anti-fingerprinting is pretty solid so they're at least not just letting everyone track me for free.
