Edge is financed by ads? How?

Edge defaults users to Bing, which as of last year was a $7.5B business for Microsoft[1]. That's nearly 20x the revenue Mozilla gets from advertising.

Edge being based on Chromium doesn't mean it uses the Google advertising network.

Indeed, but it does use the Bing Ads network. It's deeply integrated too, sending Windows's Advertising ID (for "relevant ads") to Bing.
