Browser Wars, Now With Cake

Description

The image shows two celebratory cakes side by side. On the left, a rectangular cake in a box has the Microsoft Edge logo on top, the text "Welcome to Chromium!", and a Chrome logo on the side; on the right, a round cake has the Firefox logo and the rim text "bing it on, Microsoft!". The metadata says both Google and Firefox sent cakes to Microsoft's Edge team, referring to the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge launch era. The humor is friendly browser-war diplomacy: Chrome welcomes Edge into the Chromium/Blink family while Firefox uses a Bing pun to needle Microsoft from the last major independent browser-engine camp.
