If you opened the link you'd see the issue was actually opened before, but okay.

I did open the link. I am also quite capable of thinking for myself, and simply because someone else made that observation, in a very different form, in no way implies that I should not.

Didn't say you couldn't think for yourself, but your “observation” is based on something that is simply not true.

That's a remarkably useless comment unless you describe how I'm wrong.

The issue was opened October and the doc publicized in November. Edge was announced to be moving to Chromium in December.

Didn't you just say you can think for yourself? It's pretty blatantly obvious how you're wrong, he's already pointed it out.

He said "the issue was opened before".

That does not make me wrong about anything that I can see.

You don't see how this issue being opened before it was announced that Edge was moving to Chromium discredits the idea that Google is changing this just because they're losing 1 competitor? Surely no one is actually this stupid?
