People use Linux to get away from Microsoft but ok

True
I didn't have any reason to switch to Linux until windows 7 got its life support unplugged. It was a very good, no nonsense operating system (well not as much as some Linux distros maybe idk) which worked well and most importantly, it felt like a tool. It mostly did what you wanted it to. Subsequent Windows versions feel like toys, like some child came up with that design. Everything feels wrong, somehow, and designed for a touchscreen

As if we hadn't had already enough browsers on linux.
If i go into pacman it gives me like 4 pages of hits if i type "browser" into search.
Why is microshit stuff always superfluous and redundant ? Why do they always copy stuff from others and then try to sell it ?
They try to do this same bs since IE.
Where is the credibility in this whole company ?

It is their marketing strategy. They copy everything, steal everything, and then use money to establish a monopoly to push away any competition.

And no one will use it. There are not too many accidental users of Linux.

LOL, "I wish there was a microsoft built web browser for Linux!", said no linux user ever. Who's asking for this?

Yeahhhh. I don't trust microsoft anymore after seeing their love of forced automatic updates and telemetry. I'll pass.

So MS made another Chromium clone and now markets it to Linux users. Probably they are trying to capitalize on current Mozilla problems.
