Default chromium Edge?

Since Microsoft is going with Google on its browser will it use it
search engine too?

Would Microsoft give away advertising revenue to Google, or
would Microsoft go with Bing and keep the money to itself.

You can set it to whatever you like. Starts as Bing.

Having used every browser known to man, I am most impressed with the new
Edge especially with both M$ and Chrome addons. Blazing fast for me.

As Ralph said, you should be able to choose. You
should also be able to remove all but one. But the
browser makers have been moving toward a very
insidious lack of choice -- making it nearly impossible
to *not* search from the browser.

What you can do is to just make a shortcut/bookmark
for your favorite search engine and go there. If you
use Google you can make it go to the advanced page:

http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&num=30

I always remove all engines from the list except
duckduckgo. Increasingly they won't allow removing
all. Then I adjust settings, like no search suggestions.
But it's still hard to be sure that one has shut off the
function of calling a search engine by typing. I suppose
the only way to be sure would be to remove all but Bing,
then put Bing in your HOSTS file.
