    Why downloading chrome when you are using edge? Download Firefox.

      This is the way, or even better use LibreWolf

        Nearly all are chrome under the hood. What’s your alternative?

            Well yeah but the comment I was responding to said, Firefox? Nah. I’m wondering what alternative to Firefox they would choose that is not chromium based.
