To the surprise of no one, its basically chrome. Even my google account came in logged in automatically, same recent sites etc. I wonder if the roadmap will include things like dark mode, I never used the annotations feature so can't vouch much for it. I'm yet to try to make a MS Teams call but looking good so far.

The single engine world domination plan takes one step further today.

LOL, this is hilarious.

Google account integration seems pretty non-strategic for Microsoft - do we have any idea if this is intentional? (I would have assumed they'd implement all the cloud stuff backed by Live accounts.)

[dragonwriter]

If they integrate Google Accounts and Microsoft services, it provides a way to exfiltrate personal data held in Google Accounts to Microsoft; least nefariously, as a way to make MS accounts more useful by, perhaps automatically, importing contacts, etc., but that's not all that is possible.)

This new Edge seems to reuse the cookie jar, history, etc. of the real Edge, so emp_ is probably already logged in to his Google account on the real Edge. (Corrections welcome, but it's what I've noticed after trying it.)

I'm not logged in anything google on vanilla Edge at all, this is not coming from the Edge history.

Wouldnt this be expected that your Edge cookies continue to work? Or are you saying it uses Chrome's cookies?

[basch]

it says on the first launch page that dark mode is coming.

There's also an experimental option to turn on in edge:flags.
