I have to disagree, edge has been a big ol' joke since it's conception, most non tech literate people see it and go, huh, okay time to download chrome.
Most tech literate people don't like it for the myriad of other problems, i can't think of a single scenario where edge dominates the market
It dominates the market in vertical tabs IMO. I tried Vivaldi, Firefox extension, the works. The best-feeling alternative was Safari
It has performance tweaks over Chrome and doesn’t have Google’s spyware
Majority of users already subscribe to that by using Windows
Older but is still accurate https://www.yugatech.com/comparisons/microsoft-edge-vs-google-chrome-which-browser-should-you-use/
I said "tech illiterate", most people on here are going to primarily be using Firefox and other smaller competitors, but in the main stream world like it or not chrome is still huge
Yes my original statement was that it was a better browser than Chrome
I use edge at work and Firefox at home. Using edge every work day for 3 years and don't really have many complaints about it. I used to actively avoid it, but after trying it, it doesn't really seem all that bad.
My only gripe is I infrequently have trouble logging into an Ethernet device locally.
