Ask HN: Is Edge any better or worse than Chrome on privacy? 21 by StevePerkins | 8 comments< I primarily use Firefox, but occasionally I have to resort to Chrome for certain poorly-designed websites. Now that Microsoft Edge is Chromium-based, is it any better as an alternative? Is the privacy any more respectable, or does it simply replace all the Google phone-homing with the same level of Microsoft phone-homing?
