The tragedy of edge is that it is technically a fantastic browser for windows but made by Microsoft.

Just thinking about the engineers that built such great memory management and security features that no other browser has just to have the marketing guy come in and say 'yeah put these three layers of bloat on top oh and don't forget to add the new backdoor we need...' only to see that all their work is basically a tech meme...

I guess they must get home and cry while hugging their stock options and 300k/y contract the poor guys...

Those guys all got Balmered or something because Edge is now Chromium based.
