It’s probably a good idea to disable Edge...That is, stop using Edge (or Chorme), and start using an alternative browser...like Firefox. /s
More seriously, I wish there was a web browser built in a sort of cameleon fashion:
* layer 1 - the lowest layer would be some weird rotating engine that would use different browser engines to send disinformation to all websites, web apps. For example, at one moment websites see that i'm on FF, but the next moment on a version of (fake) "Chrome", etc. But, functionality, the user is unaware of what engine is actually driving the typical underlying browser processes.
* layer 2 - the middle layer would hold my personal/private data, like saved passwords, cookies that i desire, etc. This layer is in total control of the user and their data. Whatever configs and preferences are set by the user are saved in this layer, and it persists across browser upgrades, browser synching platforms (like Firefox Accounts), etc.
* layer 3 - is what the user sees as browser UI (the original term was "browser chrome" of coiurse), and interacts with the UX features...The user can use 1 of a few UI themes: 1 that "looks" like Firefox, another that looks like Chrome, another looks like Brave, Edge, etc. On top of these "browser skins", there could also be the typical browser-brand-specific themes that each native browser has available.
I should state that i know nothing about how browsers are developed...And I acknowledge from my armchair that the above would make developing a new browser crazy complex...but, wow, such flexibility i think would be pretty neat!
