    Well this is a good move IMO, at least Micro$h4ft has finally given up on their crappy browser and switched to Chromium. this is a way better default browser in the OS than IE or Edge at least. I'm sure all the extensions will soon be supported as well it just came out dude.

    Another thing to remove during custom OS. They might as well ship as devices w/o any browser and IE11 for downloading FF or Chrome/ium.
    I wonder if google chrome needs Patch Tuesday.

    @Ultra Male Chrome/ium can't implement full NoScript functionality, due to its api limitations. When Edge used own engine, NoScript for it was at least a possibility. Also, Edge was the easiest on the battery among all browsers.

    NoScript actually made it to Chrome/ium, so it looks like I'll be using new Edge after all...
