    Edge is based off chromium, same “engine” that powers Chrome. As most browsers are.

      Yeah, it’s basically chrome without the bloat, less spying, and without the prohibition on ad blockers

        Are we talking about the same browser?

        Edge has all of those things in spades.

        That’s fine but the point of the post is that you have to use a non chromium browser to avoid wei. Once it’s implemented it’s likely that edge and others will have to implement it too.

            It would be a monumental effort for smaller browsers to keep chromium extensions working, while the rest of the ecosystem moves to the new APIs. The only way that could work is if they all fork chromium and base their browsers on this new fork, and even then it’s not guaranteed to develop a real ecosystem of plugins since chrome has more users than all of those other chromium browsers combined.

            So yeah you have to use Firefox if you want to avoid that, at least for now.

            How is there no way? Yes, there is. Google implements it in the original, websites start requiring it, all of those browsers that didn’t implement it will be denied from access to websites. The end.
