Edge is stuff tacked on Chromium. How can it be better?!

Isn't chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.

When I see the current version of Edge I'm reminded of those bloatware-packed OEM Windows preinstalls adding useless toolbars to Internet Explorer, except this time it's a sidebar.

I'm disappointed, and when asked by people I recommend replacing Edge. Preferably with Firefox, but even Chrome is better.

It's like saying Mac OS is just a Linux distro. It's similar but actually pretty different when it comes to how it manages its memory.
