"Microsoft has switched to Chromium"

Feels like a massive missed opportunity - microsoft is the only big player not funded by ads.

Also having their own Engine was cool, i liked it, although it did sometimes have failures. Looks like they got tired if different issues and thew in the towel

They would never overcome the reputation damage from IE. I think they accepted that and switched to Chromium because it just makes maintaining the userbase they do have a lot easier.
