. Just as with Apple, the two tech giants are pushing hard to keep users within their own walled gardens, on Safari and Edge.. “If you open the Chrome download page in Microsoft Edge, you may see a new banner at the top.” Instead of just presenting the usual Edge versus Chrome comparison, “Microsoft now focuses on protection.”campaign, which is all about privacy, tracking and fingerprinting.
