Google Chrome users: You can thank Microsoft for this new feature
Summary
With Microsoft kicking off the rollout of its Chromium-based Edge browser earlier this month, new details have now emerged about how its collaborating with rival Google on an open-source project to improve Chromium for all. The change to Chromium from this month was spotted by a Reddit user and first reported by The Verge. The tab feature is an example of how Microsoft and others can contribute upstream changes to the Chromium project, versus Chromium-based browsers that make changes to Chromium downstream, such as adding anti-tracking prevention to their Chromium-based browsers. Google told CNET in a statement that it welcomed Microsofts contributions to the "open web", which Internet Explorer was often criticized for not supporting. "Chrome has been a champion of the open web since inception, and we welcome Microsoft to the community of Chromium contributors," Google said.
