It's basically the same thing. Edge is Chromium based.

Hey it has a fuckton more of microsoft telemetry on top of it.

[–] arklampumbrella@leminal.space 36 points 11 months ago

both true! the joke is more about how desperate microsoft edge appears when installing another browser, not exclusively chrome.

the joke is less about the specific browser being downloaded, and more about how clingy microsoft products appear when switching to an alternative
