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
My workplace is basically as close to 100% Microsoft as you can get. When I started I figured "hey let's try out this new Edge browser and see if it's as good as people are saying" and y'know what, it's had some nice features that Chrome lacks that I really appreciate.
However Microsoft entirely killed it for me by recently making every browser profile automatically sign into the Microsoft account that Windows is signed into. I was using different profiles to use different Microsoft accounts for managing Microsoft services so now I have my named account everywhere instead of the correct admin account that actually has access to more than the bare minimum. Literally entirely defeated the purpose of browser profiles. So I switched to Firefox at work because I can use the tab container feature for the same purpose and have fewer windows open at once as an added benefit
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.
You can jump to vscodium if you want code but without telemetry
