Microsoft Edge has many convenient features to improve your browsing experience. However, some of those features raise privacy concerns. One, for example, sends images you view directly to Microsoft.

      I’ve used Chrome(Haven’t yet tried Ungoogled Chromium on PC. Have used Bromite in the past). It didn’t seem much faster.

      Chrome generally felt faster on google services like Meet tho.

        Not much faster, no. Still the same core, just fewer compulsory extensions like this Snoopy one.
