    Is there even any advantage of using Chrome instead of Edge in 2023? They’re basically the same since both use Chromium and are ridden with trackers and telemetry

      The advantage is that you get to sell your data to Google instead of Microsoft, yay!

        In the end the big tech corpos are circle jerking our data anyways unless you go 100% tech free and even then I wouldn’t be surprised if they set-up a profile of you from phones in your proximity.

          This is why I search for conflicting interests on different browsers. Have fun figuring out whether I’m actually a Lakers or Celtics fan, Google and Microsoft!

      At work we have both, Edge and Chrome, and there actually are minor differences (that might well result from differences in the pushed settings, though). Like, when using our ticketing system, Edge loses the connection to the server after a period of inactivity and Chrome doesn’t. Also, Chrome seems to be a little faster with script processing (subjectively, have never measured…). But otherwise, they’re basically the same, just as you said.

      Both browsers are equally capable of doing their primary job, which is to download Firefox.
