Dude, nothing is more suspicious than when a developer of a supposedly free app nags you to use their app. Why do they even want you to use Edge so badly? You're never going to pay any money for it, this screams "give us your data, we want to sell it".

I know, I was thinking that about Lemmy too. An issue or not we don't yet know!

The neat part about the fediverse is that no matter how badly behaved a dev may be, there'll be enough people to fix their behaviour and work around it. Look at mastodon, gorgon made a few questionable choices but glitch and all the other forks work around it and enough community servers exist that you could block mastodon.social and never miss a thing.

Just like with Lemmy there's already kbin and countless other alternatives that all integrate with each other and enough community servers.

But with browsers that's stopped being a thing a long time ago as the modern web is far too complex for small groups of indie devs to make their own browsers.
