I don't like this idea. I am unsure why they are doing it. I doubt they make much money from edge, as they probably have all the data they would get from the browser due to them writing the OS. It could be to ensure that there are no compatibility problems between the site being displayed and the application displaying it. For instance, some Microsoft Applications (e.g. some versions of Outlook) use the browser engine to render the UI (in part or whole). Surely they could make this work with any Chromium based browser? After all, they are all supposed to be standard.
Still I hate this idea.
