I don't really have any problems with Google, but I have always preferred Microsoft's Edge over Google's Chrome. I just trust and prefer Microsoft browsers. And with that being said, I like Microsoft browsers just as they are and have always been, not with Google features. Can't people just use one browser? I am under the impression that the people wanting the ongoing sync are using both Edge and Chrome, and more specifically, it seems like they are Chrome users just using Edge on the side without actually using the browser as their main browser. So why are people who plan to use mainly Chrome affecting what the new Edge will be like? Again I don't really have any problems with Google. I use a Google Pixel phone, use Gmail as my main email, and use Google workspaces for school (this is really only because that is what my school usually wants each assignment done on). I just don't really trust Chrome as much as Microsoft Edge. I can still easily get to any Google stuff in Edge (if I absolutely need to) without Google services being in the browser itself. But just to be clear, I like the Microsoft company and services more than Google. I really like Windows computers (in fact, I will never use another operating system), I really like Xbox, and more importantly, I trust Microsoft the most with safety. I also rather Bing over the Google search engine (which may be a controversial opinion to some people). I just use Gmail as my main email because of how it has such good cross device compatibility. I just view Microsoft as a better and more trustworthy company. Just to prove my point Google had to make a "Don't be evil" motto, and I don't particularly trust what Google does with my information. So Google has a good and bad side, but I haven't ever seen any reason not to trust Microsoft, so I prefer Microsoft as a whole. Google isn't bad but there are some areas where Google is a little sketchy, so again I am absolutely team Microsoft here. I don't hate Google, but I prefer Microsoft.
