This is (one reason) why I run chromium, not chrome.
Opera at least used to have a (fast, standards compliant) unique render engine and a snappy email client. Beyond IE-mode, I don't se why I would prefer Edge to Chromium.
That said, I'm happy to see first party support for Linux. But for me, being able to run SQL Server is much more useful than Edge.
(Does chrome have a setting to disable all DRM plugins like firefox does?)
