      Right now, Chrome is basically IE6. It rushes in standards with little compliance, bloats your memory, and everyone is forced to use it. All browsers are just skins, and if Google’s recent Android moves are any indication, they’ll likely close off source at some point so they can load it through with spyware.

      In terms of making a bad situation slightly better, I’d be in favor of MS re-vamping their browser division. It has little to do with AI or murdering Palestinians though, so I doubt they will.

        Did you use IE when it was still around? Edge is their “new” offering, because of how terrible their own engine was. Moving back to their own engine would be a step backwards.
