[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 847791, member: 71262"] I can't find anything recent but you may read below about M$'s view. If M$ wants Edge to have an [I]edge[/I] on Chrome, they will implement their own changes to preserve extension ad blocking ability. Brave committed to this early this year, so of course MS could. These companies can decide which Chromium features to implement or not, no matter what. My opinion is that they have made some commitment to privacy concerns of their users, which they have shown by some recent developments. I am not worrying about this myself. I also encourage involvement on the Edge Insider Forum to make sure they hear us.
