Jesus Christ, Edge is an ACTUALLY GOOD WEB BROWSER. It’s based on Chromium, so there’s no usable difference, plus you can access https://passwords.google.com in Edge with no issue. Most of the sites are tested on Google Chrome first, so they’ll be just as well-optimised for Microsoft Edge with no fuss whatsoever, 'sides from Google’s nagging, which is just as annoying, imo

    Firefox users are literally screaming right now. This isn’t even a unpopular opinion. This is a garbage opinion.

    Edge is just so ANNOYING. When I open Firefox for the first time, sure it gives my some options to set it up, but I can just not do it and start browsing.
    When I open Edge for the first time, I have to click decline->next half a dozen times. It won’t let me do anything else.
    Then at random times some new popup messages pop up, informing me of another way I can give more of my data to Microsoft.

    What I want in a browser is a window through which I view websites. I don’t want it to actually put itself in the foreground, which Edge keeps doing.

    Counterpoint: When I accidentally run edge, it leaves a search box on my desktop and an icon in the system tray. It got crappier.

    Edge would be fine if it weren’t spyware and nagware. In functionality it’s … a web browser. In privacy it’s a horror. In its proclivity to nag you to perdition its UX is splatterpunk.
