      As much as Micro$oft sucks they at least have a revenue stream independent of data mining. Still won’t use Edge, mostly because it isn’t great but partially because the verb form of it is edging.

        Microsoft Edge is based on the Chrome codebase, so it will get the baked in ad mechanism.

          Meh. You know I use that as a “casual” conversation question when I am dealing with a new client. Hey what kinda browser and email client does your work make you use? If I hear Edge and/or Lotus Notes I know what I need to know about that company.
