That is impossible for many people for the same reason why they still on Xitter, etc. They believe, that with enough willpower, the people ruining our software infrastructure can be convinced for the better. And also many people still believe that if you criticize their "meme browser" made by the cool "don't be evil" company, you're a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow.

    It blows my mind how many people use chrome over edge thinking that they are making super smart choice. I feel like I was still seeing memes on reddit making fun of Edge over Chrome.

    Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

    They're the same browser though. They use the same rendering engine, same JavaScript engine, etc. There are more similarities than differences.

    They're the same browser though.

    They actually aren't the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs.

    It's a similar and derivative browser, but they aren't the same.

    There are more similarities than differences.

    You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren't the same person.

    They're the same in the ways I care about, which is rendering and javascript engines. I'm a developer, that's what matters to me. I rarely interact with extra features, and I can get most of what's unique about a given browser with extensions.

    Right, the rendering engine is the same, that's still not the browser. Again, just because it's a derivative browser doesn't make it the same browser.

    I kinda think it does. I use a gecko browser as my main, and I use a chromium browser as my backup. I don't use most of the default features, I just need a handful of extensions, and those are available everywhere.

    So to me they're pretty much the same. Brave is a little different since it embeds an ad blocker, but besides that, the rest of the chromium browsers are equivalent for me.
