Chromium-based web browser with integrated Microsoft account features and tracking prevention.

Why you might care

Built on Chromium like Chrome but with stronger privacy defaults and tight integration with Microsoft services (OneDrive, Office 365). Good choice if you're already in the Microsoft ecosystem and want syncing across devices.
