No, ofcourse not! I have genuine issues with Chrome. One of them being the fact that Google logs me into their browser forcefully, whenever I sign in to a google product.
I had to use them till now because they had the best looking browser (and JS engine) and the apps were useful.
I ditched them since edge can do the same now. I am not really concerned about microsoft tracking me, as I am not competing for bing anyway. I have been using windows 10 for the last 3 years without disabling anything.. Nothing has happened to me yet.
Thanks for the tip! Let me try doing this when i am in front of my laptop.Go to setting - find this setting -

Make sure it's "Address Bar" not "Search box (Recommended)". Lemme know if it helps
I am totally aware of this. Just that microsoft has nothing to do with my data except for delivering me targetted ads. Google on the other hand can detect blackhat stuffs I am doing and can tank my sites. If you use chrome with google products like g search, you are giving them lots of ways to track you even further.

Got the update too as anyone else, who gets updates for Windows.I just uninstalled this spyware. Had my windows 10 updated a couple of days back, and the new EDGE looks sick! The look n feel is totally like Chrome (no shit.. Chromium inside), and it even imported all the sessions for me. With a few minor tweaks, I could get rid of the Microsoft News that loads in the home page, and also change the default search engine to Google. The fun part is that Google hates it.
The only thing I hate about this browser that it doesn't let me change the search engine for their default home page search box. If there's a trick to do that, please share!!
So, did you get the update yet? Are you ready to uninstall chrome, the spyware?
I read good things about this new Edge, but i'll stick with Chrome, it's just easier to use it across all of my devices. Until Google doesn't want to push stupid shit like this: https://www.tomsguide.com/amp/news/...sial-new-feature-will-change-the-way-you-surf, i'm sticking with them.I dunno man, i'm quite cautious when it come to wan connections to my system. When I check edge using netstat, the number of connections goes through the roof for some reason. Never have this problem with firefox. Also if you've ever undertaken the laborious task of optimizing privacy measures on win10, which should've worked fine in theory, it practically becomes impossible to use the system. I think ms are ahead of everyone when it comes to measures to gaining intelligence on their own users.

I am also thinking to switch my browser to edge. I am gonna do that soon.
This was also the last nail in the coffin for me.
I used to be a big privacy freak (nothing wrong with that as i still like privacy as long as it doesn't fuck with my productivity now). But after starting working with sites, SEO and stuff - i knew all the chrome tracking shit and how could i change it with plugins but that'd make chrome slow or webpages would take time to render as plugins run scripts on them. But after that forced-login i just had enough hehe Just because i read a political or entertainment article yesterday - i don't want to know what trump ate today morning or what Leo is up to (or what Modi or Salman/Katrina is upto). Just don't force log me in and leave me to clear cookies and start afresh with a site

Isn't it?Watching this thread on Chrome
I made this thread on purpose. I want to see a nice little battle between Chrome, Safari and new EDGE users.

I never understood why anyone gives a shit about being spied on. I use Chrome and couldn't care less if they are targeting me with adverts and stuff. It's a free service so why care if they want to build up some data and promote adverts to you.
