[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 862758"] That's just it. They all have their pros and cons and every single one will have security holes that have to be patched. Typically every Chrome update is full of security fixes, so..... it's not immune to vulnerabilities. This is your typical "oh crap we will actually lose users, how can we hold on to this?" Let's be real here, for all of MS failings on the browser side of things, they got this one right and in a big way IMHO. So while I was a Chrome user I don't see the need to use it, I'm sticking with the new Edge. As I said earlier, while its probably safe to assume that Google never expected MS to adopt Chromium, it does show the down side of open source. If this was closed source, we would be here discussing this, but yet here we are. I'm not against open source what's so ever, but it just highlights potential cons and Google they can't do anything about it as MS is allowed to do this, as it's open source. [/QUOTE]
