I’ll never understand why Microsoft dropped their engine. They can afford to develop it and it would’ve been a great advantage vs Google. I mean, it wouldn’t have helped open source folk either way, but I just don’t get why they dropped it.
Yeah, I was hoping MS could make a competent engine with a fresh start. I wouldn’t even be mad if it was Windows only. Now Edge is just another Microsoft L
Because they now have to go along with most things that Google says. They’re reliant on Google now, they have to do what daddy tells them.
Add to that, they’ve conceded any sway in setting web standards, granting Google more control to push the web in the direction that benefits Google and harms competition.
