Edge is pretty much dead.

I honestly don't know why. If you are a Windows user and don't care about privacy, you may just as well stick with Edge. As a Chromium web browser by a megacorp, it's in no way worse than Chrome.

Honestly, not going with chrome means only one massive corp is stealing your data, not two.

I thought Chromium still phoned home to Google

It does, and there's nothing you can do about it either, other than, obviously, switching to an alternative web browser.

All chromium based do, even something like Helium can't remove that?

Helium should be fine. They're, to my understanding, a fork of ungoogled-chromium, and they seem to proxy all calls to Google for you. It shold be a safe enough web browser for 'regular' people who care about their privacy.

I mean, edge is a viable option for enterprise. Works with gpos, etc. So easy to roll out and lockdown there.

I still think it's garbage like every chromium browser but that's its big sell.

If company is gonna lock downs extensions and force SSO on us, making Firefox non-viable (not that I'm allowed to install it anyway)... Fuck it edge we go, they have a Microsoft SSO stack anyway, it's not like Microsoft isn't tracking what I'm doing already lmao.
