This is why we need more users on non-Chrome browsers. I'm sad that Microsoft ditched Edge, and a major reason that I use Firefox is to keep Google from 100% control of the web (well I guess 95% of non-iPhone users). Vivaldi noted that this is a problem, but instead of helping they made it worse. "Not in my backyard" at its finest.
