Why?

It's just Chromium with a layer of Microsoft on top. It'll have the same extension issues from Manifest v3 that mainline Chrome does.

It's literally corporate spyware made by Microsoft, one of the shittiest companies in history. It also uses the Chromium rendering engine under the hood, meaning you also support Google's monopoly. It's the worst browser choice you can make. (besides maybe Opera or shit like that)

Firefox and LibreWolf are the only good browsers that don't support Google's monopoly on browser rendering engines and give you the freedom to block ads
