But the the only MS rep. that called me (many times) is the "Windows Technical Support department" from India.
May it give glory to God.

Microsoft is replacing its Edge browser with the updated, Chromium-based version on January 15. Windows 10 users will be automatically transitioned over.
From the linked article (https://www.inputmag.com/tech/microsoft-is-replacing-edge-with-its-new-chromium-browser-next-week):
We already knew this was coming because Microsoft announced the new Edge's launch date last month, but it wasn't clear that users would be pushed to the new version. Thankfully it will look mostly the same as the existing Edge browser, with all the same proprietary Microsoft features, except for a slightly more Chrome-esque look. Since the new Chromium Edge will be based off the same browser as Google Chrome, Edge will now support all the same extensions. Last month developers were invited to port their Chrome extensions over to the Microsoft Store, with the company saying that most extensions could be transferred over without any additional work. Edge is the default browser for all 900 million Windows 10 users, so there's obviously an incentive there to port extensions.

” Didn’t like the Edge browser.”
It sucks bad.
Brave is the browser that was founded by Brendan Eich. Eich is the guy who was forced out of Mozilla, because he donated $1,000 to California’s Proposition 8, which banned same sex marriage.
OMG!
I’m still using IE when I can. Edge too limited.
I avoid Chrome for privacy.
Is MS going to spy as much as Goocle Chrome?
Hostsman. Everyone should use it.

Ok, it’s still Chromium based, but I can understand why he left Mozilla. I gave up Fagfox a long time ago.
I hate edge and never use it anymore.
Egads! How much memory do you have on your system to run Firefox like that?
I just switched from win 7 to 10. (only took 3 hours!) The Win 10 Edge browser didn’t save any of my passwords from IE. Pain in a$$. It did save the ones on chrome though. Ebay was the hardest one to regain which was never on Chrome.
will that prevent any security problems come the 15th?
His moniker was hijacked
32GB DR4, but with 5 browsers open and over 500 tabs (and 8 documents, etc.) over 20% is still left. On FF ESR 59.02 profile is mainly for forum threads, Quora, weather and relevant tabs, and another FF ESR profile is for shopping items (such as many parts I bought to fixing bikes, garden and hshld supplies), and another is for donations and checking phone and bank data and pages full of research data. And another (Basilisk ) is the default and Edge for single type searches.
Makes things much faster having them visible and handy. Praise the Lord for such help.
I know. But, you can still use Internet Explorer if you want. In the cortana search bar just type “ie” and hit Enter.
I use EPIC Privacy Browser with great results!
CA....
Browsers like Google & Microsoft censor the internet.
Chrome, Internet Explorer, Android censor.
Do you want to see the Whole Web or just their limited Tiny Web?
Man... They are going to force Google connections as forced proprietary now? Is it going to also hook to Google telemetry? How would we even know?
Sir... you always got a LOT going on in your screen shots! :)
“Egads! How much memory do you have on your system to run Firefox like that?”
Lol, he is probably the most “custom bells and whistles” user I have met yet. :)
Open source. Microsoft would never have done it five years ago!
