I’m sure that’s an end goal here, but logging into a Google account through Edge, integrates it into the Windows OS. Sort of like (but not as intensely as) logging into a Microsoft account through Edge. So, while, yes, it’s end goal is through rivalry, the method is a partnership.
I’m not sure it’s a partnership. It looks and reads like the standard authorized data sharing setup. Anyone can configure that. It uses an open protocol that’s standardized, let’s users control the information shared with explicit consent and is basically what you want out of any entity that holds all your crap. The only thing it’s really lacking is a standard protocol for sharing the actual data.
Linux distributions have it.
Microsoft using Google’s public documented API is a long way from a partnership.
![Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was [in bed with Google]. This timeline sucks.](https://infosec.pub/pictrs/image/773d3464-6a91-414d-8ef7-3f56139f5faa.jpeg){kind=link}
This isn’t cooperation, this is rivalry. The point is for you to use Edge instead of Chrome.
Just another skirmish in the war for what matters most: which tech-giant is the default choice.
Meanwhile, on Lemmy, I suffer under the tyranny of Big Penguin
Big penguin is no joke. Just last week a penguin busted down my front door and forced me to compile my own kernel from source!
Did he tell you he used Arch?
Arch users rarely compile their own kernels, silly.
I use Arch btw.
😂
I use Gentoo, btw.
Yes, I build the kernel myself.
Did he have a beard?
Heyoo!
They don’t want you to know you can just take the source code home, they can’t arrest you.
You mean, chromium-based browser vs. chromium-based browser?
I know, it’s about data mining (don’t call it telemetry), but still. Funny. I bet they didn’t even remove all Google links from the source code.

Edge is a Chromium browser. This is the standard Chrome sync stuff from nearly every one of those.
