Yeah, it might have been “fine” at the normal web browsing part, but Microsoft kept trying to push their proprietary extension store. Also, didn’t they not support extensions for the longest time? I think that was the biggest reason they switched to chromium, so they could use all those existing chrome extensions?
No, just telling the truth. It was one of, if not the most W3C compliant browsers around. Chrome is one of the worst, but that was chromes goal - kinda like IE back in the original browser wars. Make your browser “win” by essentially forcing developers to make features exclusive to you instead of using the developed standards.
Chrome had some killer features as well, which thankfully they’ve kept on adding since the switch. Edge is imo the most feature rich browser on the market now, but it’s a shame it’s running chromium.
Is this some Mandela effect speaking?
