Nice. So user got auto switched from Google's chromium to Microsoft's chromium? That's almost just a skin. More worried about it stealing Firefoxs's tabs. Specially since I like my addons.

There's nothing stopping it from harvesting the data (open tabs, bookmarks, history, etc) from Firefoxs files too.

Chrome just happened to be the non-edge browser the articles author was using.
