Edge was good at launch, it's still okay but it's kind of a bloated mess now
but it’s kind of a bloated mess now
That's Chrome and all its varieties, to be fair

Honestly Edge might be better at this point but it really doesn't matter. Google won the browser war years ago and people have too much inertia to care
The stupid sidebar on the right is reason enough for me, but I also want an adblocker that's not crippled.
They think Chrome as everybody have a Gmail account but not Microsoft account. I dont think you can login to Edge with a Google account and get all your stuff there. At minimum you first must install Chrome, then start Edge and trigger the import process - but why do that when you now already have Chrome installed?
This is true for all other browsers.
Reminds me a bit of that scene in "2001 - A Space Odyssey" where Bowman unplugs HALs memory modules, and HAL begs him not to do that.
