Which begs the question why would anyone use Edge when they can use Chrome?
For me, I plan to use Edge to install Chrome, business as usual :P
Can we finally stop saying safari is the new ie, and recognize that chrome is now literally the new IE? Seriously, this means that chrome has more or less complete market dominance at this point.

I am a happy Safari user though :-)

They trust Microsoft more than Google?
That's an interesting point. 10 years ago I would, today with Windows data mining gone mad I wouldn't. They are on par.
A majority of consumers do not expect Google to track their activities (niemanlab.org)
Ironic?

> Support for Mac and all supported versions of Windows will also come over time. Is anyone actually planning to use Edge on macOS? What reasons would you have for doing so?
This reminds me of the 5 year period from 2007 to 2012 when Apple made Safari for Windows. I got curious and used it for a few weeks, but moved back to Firefox for the extensions.
To the surprise of no one, its basically chrome. Even my google account came in logged in automatically, same recent sites etc. I wonder if the roadmap will include things like dark mode, I never used the annotations feature so can't vouch much for it. I'm yet to try to make a MS Teams call but looking good so far. The single engine world domination plan takes one step further today.

Seriously, why is MS doing this? Internet Explorer died years ago, Edge never took off, and Google isn't about to give up their market share for spyware without a fight. It's like MS thinks this is Browser Wars 3.0. Heaven help me if it turns out that MS seems to be doing something comparatively good.
So assuming an OS does need to ship with a browser, skinning a chromium one seems very sensible.
