I wouldn't touch Edge because I still remember the days when IE was dominating the market. As much as I despise Google being the one now, I do not miss those days and do not trust Microsoft to do anything good if they were in this position again.
So you can make fun of people concerned about privacy, but history proved there's a lot more concerns to have regarding Microsoft
I remember those times too, completely different group of management, and the way they've done business in the last near decade, has also been very different. Some throwbacks, but on the whole, vastly different. I've been watching, you clearly haven't. And aside from that, they're never going to be in the "same position", the market is entirety different.
I haven't really tried using Edge for general use, but I do use it whenever I want text-to-speech. That's a lot better in Edge than other options I've tried.
Don't let the "M$ teh hacking my dataz!" tin-foilers dissuade...
Performant, good mix of features, stable, solid compatibility, & flexible.
