Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how

Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

They’re the same browser though. They use the same rendering engine, same JavaScript engine, etc. There are more similarities than differences.

They actually aren’t the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs.
It’s a similar and derivative browser, but they aren’t the same.
You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren’t the same person.

They’re the same in the ways I care about, which is rendering and javascript engines. I’m a developer, that’s what matters to me. I rarely interact with extra features, and I can get most of what’s unique about a given browser with extensions.

Right, the rendering engine is the same, that’s still not the browser. Again, just because it’s a derivative browser doesn’t make it the same browser.
