I’m really interested to find out how they’re approaching privacy. If they take a strong stance, this might be a good alternative to chrome for those sites that support nothing else.
Why not Safari? It's fast, power-efficient, and native.

#42Question about MS strategy: why would someone use this over Chromium or Firefox?
Firefox runs rather poorly on Mac.
Have you filed a bug report with specifics of the poor behavior you experience, so that Mozilla engineers can potentially investigate the issue?

And a lot of stupidly optimized-for-chrome sites break in it. Plus extensibility is limited.

#49Why do I get the feeling this will be used by developers to say they tested Edge when they really didn't?

From a practical standpoint exactly what does Google collect from one’s browsing activity when they use Chrome? Not sure I’ve ever seen the technical analysis of what kinds of exposure users have.
I'm sure it's not limited to this but there are a lot of dark UI patterns in Chrome, e.g. any Google web login also logs you in to Chrome so Google "has permission" to record your browsing history and other browsing data.
My sync password is different from my account password, I think it generally unlocks both at once if your sync password is the same as your account password, and you log in to your Google account.
I think this is also possible with the way that Microsoft has made "Edge" work with Microsoft accounts rather than Google accounts.
