The worst part is they have the resources to make a browser that people want, without having to shove it upon everyone. If they did the following in some alt timeline, I'd be a happy Edge user:
- Stuck to EdgeHTML and Chakra for a better diversity of web technologies
- No bloat, tracking, data siphoning, sign in pressure, sketchy financial services, bing integration shitware
- Cross platform (Win/OSX/Lx at least)
- Open source so we know there's no funny business
That would be a genuinely interesting browser that would have a chance of selling itself.
Instead we get a poor Chrome reskin that offers minimal incentive to use it.
