      Why do you expect that Edge wouldn’t adopt Google-like MV3 along with Chrome?

      Microsoft adopted Chromium in order to minimise development costs in a product it doesn’t see as core, something which would be incurred if it had to maintain its own fork of mv3, and is incentivized through Bing to pursue a similar approach.

      using a chromium based browser is still supporting google’s chromium monopoly

          When in a discussion about an article, it’s usually a good idea to read the article since it may make or address the points that you want to discuss. The headline (in this case) is just the conclusion and you’re missing all the supporting evidence that leads there. Taking just headlines and assuming the context leads to being misinformed and spreading misinformation.

          my adblocker is in Edge’s extension store. If Google is throttling updates to my adblocker

          For instance, you are assuming that this is related to Google maliciously throttling extension updates which is not true.

          YouTube is pushing new ad-block circumvention approximately daily.

          Microsoft’s documentation states that extension updates can take up to 7 days to pass certification and go live.

          That is not materially different than Google’s behaviour in this context.
