I hope it’s true, but honestly I don’t believe sites and opinions that have to do with google from sites like the verge.
Because sites like the verge are in reality rivals to google. For example verge is owned by voxmedia which has an advertising company and a web advertsing platform. They are rivals to google which also is an advertising company. They hate google because they want google’s money lol. I seriously doubt they can be objective especially to google.
Edge should be treated the same way as the browsers of Google and Apple.
They all including Microsoft have operating systems that try to make people to switch to their browsers with “recommendations”.
Especially Microsoft is more aggressive today than Google or Apple on that. Because the majority of people refuse to switch to Edge.
If Edge isn’t on the same “app position” of Safari and Chrome and is treated like Firefox, Vivaldi, Brave etc… that’s a scandal.
