It drives the people towards having one browser controlled by a mega corporation. We, at the very least, as developers need to support multiple browsers to prevent the monopolization that could one-day threaten the current style and freedom of the internet that we admire and like (generally).

When Microsoft took the Chromium browser as a base for the new Edge version, they replaced over 50 Google services.

And they replace them with their stuff? You imply foul play but there is nothing in the list.

I think the GP is pointing out that Chromium had G services, period.

Not true. Chromium talks a lot to Googles servers.

Additionally, "websites" that are made for chrome drive even more people into this monoculture which is bad for the web.

What does it send? Any proof of shady behavior?

Monoculture was bad when it was IE6, it's good when it's google. At least that's the SV Groupthink.

Did not know that.
