I think the Microsoft's one may have been based on Clarity Boost[1] rather than Chromium's VpSuperResolution since there's still no AMD implementation in Chromium[0], but Edge VSR does support AMD cards.

A fun anecdote here is that VpSuperResolution was actually added to Chromium by Intel back in April 2022[2], citing Clarity Boost as an inspiration. It works with iGPU, but it was never enabled by default. Nvidia's patch came much later in Sep 2022[3] but enabled by default with a driver-level trigger (rather than enable behind a feature flag like Intel).
