Microsoft's Collaboration On Google's Chromium Brings a New Feature To Chrome (mspoweruser.com)
Remember when Microsoft announced they'd be switching to Google's open source Chromium browser for developing their own Edge browser? At the time Google announced "We look forward to working with Microsoft and the web standards community to advance the open web, support user choice, and deliver great browsing experiences."
Now MSPoweruser reports Microsoft has indeed started collaborating on Chromium -- making suggestions like caret browsing and a native high-contrast mode -- and at least one of Microsoft's suggestions is already coming to Chrome. it looks like there is one feature that Chromium approved which will be making its way to Chrome soon. According to a new bug (via Techdows) filing on Chromium, Google is working on bringing text suggestions for hardware keyboard to Chrome soon. The feature will allow users to get suggestions as they type which is currently available on Windows 10 and on Microsoft Edge.
Google has just started working on the feature and has set the priority to 2 which suggests that the feature should be available sooner than later.

FTA: For those who don’t know, Caret navigation basically means using a text cursor to move around a page. With Caret browsing, users will be able to add a cursor to any webpage and use keyboard shortcuts like Shift+Arrow Keys to select text without using the mouse. The feature is already available in Edge and can be activated using F7 key on the keyboard.
I use them both interchangeably depending on my needs.
Firefox with NoScript is my default, searching browser.
I use Brave for a few other things when I get tired of dealing with the alphabet script soup I deal with on some websites and it had a built in AD block, tracker block, anti-phish, anti fingerprinting, and HTTPS anywhere stuff.
Google Chrome is spyware and its not even a secret.
