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.

    Edge is great for Enterprise customers.

    All those privacy issues turn into benefits as it falls into your tenant and is covered by your existing contracts and encryption keys.

    Profile and password sync becomes useful.

    Byod is so much easier when their edge browser supports app management configurations.

    The home page and Bing search displays internal results in addition to external through seamless Federated search.

    There’s a lot more simple little things that add up to an overall huge improvement over trying to use chrome or Firefox.
