No, I’m not. Chromium doesn’t exist in Windows unless you install a program that includes it. Chromium web engine is “native” to the chromium web browser, not to any OS (except maybe ChromeOS). As espi mentioned, Internet explorer’s mshtml is the only engine “native” to Windows. Just look at the Opera browser, they changed web engines from Presto to chromium; that’s not using “what’s native to the platform” (Opera works across all OS’s with chromium, except for iOS for the restriction I mentioned before), it’s using what the developers/company want to use to render their pages. Nothing in Windows itself provides any of the chromium engine “pieces”
you’re overthinking the word native.

This was true until Edge transitioned to Chromium. Now the natively installed browser in Windows is Chromium based.
careful, you used the word native.
Firefox users apparently get triggered by it.
Because what you claim is wrong.
Microsoft programs that need a web rendering engine use MSHTML, not Chromium. MSHTML is baked into the operating system.
You can completely delete Edge from your computer and Windows will keep working fine.
