Worried about Google integration as a negative.
I'm seeing a lot of people who don't see it as a negative and it concerns me. I don't want to use anything that's tied into their services by default or that wouldn't prompt me before letting Google ...
Microsoft is going towards openness and open platform. even though they removed all the Google stuff from the chromium before implementing it in the new Edge, but it doesn't mean that they also should prevent users from installing extensions from other stores, such as Google's.
so when you install an extension from another web store other than Microsoft's, you would need to rely on that 3rd party web store for future updates of that extensions. you can't also tell extension developers not to use Google servers or any other servers, because they only make their extensions once to work with all browsers using chromium.
in my opinion you shouldn't worry about Google. you can use the new Edge, use bing engine, use extensions from Microsoft's store (which keeps growing and growing) and then you will be fine :)

I thinks it would be nice to warn (in description of the application, on edge store) to mark if an application use tird party services, and what service is calling.
And above all outright ban google analytics for allowed only bing analytics and/matomo analytics
Because i'm a developer so i understand the necessity of analytics, but when i use microsoft services, i don't want to see google analytics autorized in my extensions
