Edge continues to be the only major browser with no end-to-end sync encryption
ragingrei HotCakeX Kam Don't forget that even if Edge exist on stable version it's an unfinished product for now (since all chromium function isn't there).
So all we have to do is wait, and ask Microsoft if they have planned this function and those wo want it will respond to them they want it.
If even if we argue 10 years here that will not change anything, so some of us already have done an asking for this feature, and if some don't have done it and want the feature they do it and after that we wait for edge to have finished to implement all chromium features.
If you want to think like that then no software is ever finished, everything is constantly improving.
Microsoft doesn't have to add everything from Chromium to Edge. not everything Google adds to Chromium is correct and good.
also like I said, there is no way to verify Google chrome is actually end to end encrypting your data, simply because you can't see what happens on their server. so it's all about trust.
when it comes to trust, people are divided. some people trust a company, others don't.
for example, I don't trust Google, some other people don't trust Microsoft.
a lot of people don't trust Facebook and thus WhatsApp's end to end encryption (because same company owns both products).
so I don't see why end to end encryption (in this mode) is important or necessary if the end user can't be 100% sure they data is actually being end to end encrypted.
i personally trust PGP encryption more than Google chrome's encryption which is based on "trust".
HotCakeX i wasn't telling about End to end but in general some function isn't there (like sync who isn't finished) so yes it's an unfinished product, so say it evolve yes and no.
A software evolve with update, for now, edge is in construction, so tell "Edge continues to be the only major browser with no end-to-end encryption" OR "Microsoft doesn't have to add everything from Chromium to Edge" is not relevant here since the software isn't finished (finished if we take what function MUST be their to be a major browser), BUT i agree with you than i prefer a non encrypted data in Microsoft Database since they can't loose trust (just like apple) on privacy, than a promise of my data "Encrypted" By Google.
Sync is an exception because the browser itself says coming soon, but other than that Edge stable is finished and not in construction for the moment, until the next version is ready to replace the current stable version.
Google Chrome and Chromium are not finished either, they keep evolving.
Edge might not have all features of Chrome and Chrome might not have all features of Edge, but that doesn't make any of them incomplete.
with your ideology, all software would be in construction and work in progress because they are evolving with updates.
