As much as I dislike Microsoft, I see no reason for Windows users to download Chrome when Edge is right there.

why did this even get upvoted. the only valid point is not having copilot and maybe removing edge if thats even possible.

Sure we should always have choice but if you’re hopping out of Microsoft’s monopoly into Google’s is there even any point?

If you have to pick between two monopolistic corporations, using both of them but giving each a little less of your data and attention is a way to mitigate the risks and damage.
If Microsoft can harvest data on how I use my computer, I can at least make it a bit harder for them to harvest my browsing habits too by not giving them browser telemetry too.

The rest of the points are fair but you seriously saying that getting Chrome of all things is not supporting monopolistic practices?

Oh, no. I’m saying Microsoft owning your operating system and using it to push their browser as a default browser is a monopolistic practice, whereas using Chrome by is just reinforcing an existing monopoly. The same goes for Mac and Safari.
Neither browser is good, but it’s a step in the right direction to punish a corporation for their active attempts to subvert competition in a bid to establish their own monopoly in place of the current one.
