[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 884016, member: 82776"] I had downloaded Chrome 83 and Edge 83 to have a look at the changes. The browser functionality starts to diverge noticeably Edge chromium has additional anti-tracking, family safety and collections (which Chrome does not have). I can't find the DNS over HTTPS in Edge 83 (in Chrome it is a new setting in privacy & security). Also the site settings (permissions) have diverted quite a bit. Chrome has additional settings: File access, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, which Edge does not have. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality in the browser are features which marketeers like very much. Image using your smartphone as a city guide with virtual tourist guide and interesting places tags on buildings and objects you point your phone camera at. Or use your phone as a VR goggle in archaeological site and wandering back to ancients times. It is like bringing in-game advertising to the real world with augmented reality and VR. Microsoft seems to focus on parents (family safety) and students (collections for research on papers etc). In marketing it is called 'time is on my side' strategy, meaning develop features in your product to entice future generations to start using your product. When next generations prefers your product above the (old) market leader, your marketshare grows automatically. I did a target segment analysis using collections and it is really a neat feature to collect and organize source information in much easier way than copying pasting it into note, word or powerpoint. When kids are forced to use Edge by their parents (due to family safety) and start to use collection for school papers, they probably keep using Edge when they go to high-school/university (not under parent's digital safe guarding anymore) . So Microsoft might have an Edge over Google here :) [/QUOTE]
