Privacy and Security Discussion

pwaggs 

Here's 2 cents worth, maybe... @ least a penny's worth: 

I have never been a fan of google anything and obviously, that includes Chrome.  I am not trying to come to the defense of anything, either. This is my understanding, be right or wrong 🤷‍♂️. This (new) browser is being built on a Chromium-based platform. At the onset it was clarified, that did not mean it was Chrome.  Supposedly, it can be built on an open-source chromium-based platform and not have the negative aspects of Chrome & google.  And, if we weren't in denial, it's probably a wee bit hard for some of us to swallow.  For myself, just trying to be of good-faith & try to accept the advertised notion that all will be safe & secure, as claimed.  The basic implication has been, "trust we can go chromium-based AND End Users not fret". I'm trying to believe.  But, Edge is big on security and MS is big on security and privacy issues, so, theoretically ... those concerns are paramount these days, they must be top priority.

Anyway, the caveat is Chromium-based platform does not equal Chrome, as I understand it.  And that is supposed to explain why Edge C will only have (the) good aspects 🤞 Tough after so many years not to recoil over being associated w/ things for which, you haven't, ever, been enthusiastic nor recommended.

But, besides the skeptics, the thing, already, is receiving heaps of excited, impressed response.  And, enterprise will like the IE Mode.  The look & feel grows on you and the performance is good.  It's early & it's going to be our browser (W10's default) so, we'll try to have it well built, done right. Thus, we could live w/ it and be confident & relaxed. 🤞

Seems I talk better than I type.  Hope this ⬆ isn't too hard to decipher 😕

Cheers,
