Is this a compliment to Google? Edge is just chromium with few eye candies, custom settings and original tracking system replaced by Microsoft tracking system.

We know it is a good browser, Google engineers are in general good engineers

It was much better than Chrome as a Chromium browser, but then... Well, back to using non-Chromium.

I mean... Maybe... Tastes I guess... I don't know, it looks and feel like chrome/chromium to me... Because it is. That are objectively pretty solid browsers. So it is edge, I'd say. I don't see anything notable. Just another flavor of chrome

Chrome is Google, and it is based on chromium, an open source project

Android is also open source and developed by Google... these aren't mutually exclusive

If you want chromium without Google get 'ungoogled chromium'

A project being open source does not mean it isn't owned and controlled by a company. Chromium is entirely controlled by Google. It accepts contributions and fixes from others, but Google has the last say on everything, so it still has lots of Google telemetry.
