Microsoft websites detects Edge browser as Chrome hahaaha
Seriously? Please fix........
but Edge has its own user agent added to that long string in edge://version/
yes and it's because it seems they have chosen to change the user agent the worse thing they could have done to our privacy now all website can track easily if you use edge or not and let Google continue to add scary message when he see it's not chrome (exemple the store who said edge wasn't secure)
- That store was stupid but I don't think Edge users should hide behind Chrome's user agent. knowing which browser you are using is nothing compared to all the data websites and trackers can get from visitors. (e.g your time zone, IP address, which website you came from, installed fonts, OS and version etc)
in this case, Microsoft's website apparently hasn't added support for the new Edge user agent yet.- It's not hiding, it preventing Google to do add "bug" to it's concurrent, even Vivaldi now stop to add their user-agent since on google services "bugs" occur only when the user-agent is different than Chrome.
In my case i don't care i don't use Google (and i even a blocklist to block all Google services (except ajax api used by too many dev to just "block" it).
For mobile i'm on Apple so Google i really don't care but some other user of Edge if they receive a bug from Google they will say it's because of Edge "because on Google chrome it work".- I don't understand what you mean by "adding bug to its concurrent"
