at least they are using a chromium derivative over chrome

I'm not sure Microsoft flavored Chromium > Chrome

No I knew already

I can’t say if telemetry is different between packages but at least on Windows there’s no reason to collect as much as Google because they collect it at the OS level

That gives potential for them collecting less on other platforms

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's the exact opposite imo. I'd imagine that doesn't really make a difference considering Edge is cross platform, and their goal is to collect as much data as possible.
Plus, they just collect different kinds of info through Windows. So Windows + Edge is even worse, especially since it integrates just as deeply into Windows as IE did years back.

It’s a waste of resources

All network requests already go through so many layers in Windows

It’s a waste of resources

That's basically the whole OS at this point, no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume that Microsoft cares about resources. Have you seen how much RAM Windows 11 uses at idle? (not including cached data)

The whole OS is a waste of resources.

Their resources not yours

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Our resources
