Is this a compliment to Google? Edge is just chromium with few eye candies, custom settings and original tracking system replaced by Microsoft tracking system.
We know it is a good browser, Google engineers are in general good engineers
I mean... Maybe... Tastes I guess... I don't know, it looks and feel like chrome/chromium to me... Because it is. That are objectively pretty solid browsers. So it is edge, I'd say. I don't see anything notable. Just another flavor of chrome
A project being open source does not mean it isn't owned and controlled by a company. Chromium is entirely controlled by Google. It accepts contributions and fixes from others, but Google has the last say on everything, so it still has lots of Google telemetry.
