    Edge and Chrome are both closed source and owned by companies, so your comparison is just not valid. Using AOSP is certainly not supporting Google’s monopoly: AOSP is totally open source, was bought by Google a long time ago and they don’t own it due to its license (aside from the name maybe). Meaning you can still flash Android on a system without paying or using Google’s services or products.

    It’s like saying you contribute to Google’s monopoly because you use Linux and Google (also) used it in its Chromebooks.

      Chromium is open source. Edge uses chromium. That’s how Google controls the direction of the internet. Chromium is evil and everything that uses it is supporting evil. Your comparisons are ridiculous. Linux doens’t need Android, lmfao. Tell me more about how you know very little.

        Chromium doesn’t need Chrome to exist either: it’s a separate project and if Google doesn’t want to support it anymore, someone can easily fork it to continue having Chromium-based browsers. That’s the property of open source: anybody can inspect and fork it.

          I’ll use Chromium when it no longer accepts code from Google, and branches away from the code used in Chrome.

          You’re missing the point either because you want to argue or because you’re not understanding.

          Google controls Chromium development.

          Using chromium lets Google decide the direction of the internet.

          Letting Google decide the direction of the internet is bad…… do you disagree?
