Never forget what they did on the Android browser.
Is it Chromium based?
- Couldn't find the answer around the web, but here's their blog post about the browser!
  
  https://spreadprivacy.com/windows-browser-open-beta/
- It uses Microsofts WebView2, which is chromium. Also it neither block ads nor support any extension.
  
  Ah, but it has a privacy-friendly alternative to blocking ads: not blocking ads!
  
  But why? That seems stupid. Who wants privacy and ads shown?
- It looks like it’s fully in house. They say it’s not a fork of any browser and that everything was made by their team
not interested - any browser based on chromium is going to force manifest V3 and stop supporting ad-blockers. firefox with ublock is the way to go, for me. I like their search engine tho.
