The point isn’t so much in which browser you’ll prefer to use at the end of the day (that’s on you as a consumer to decide), but being able to decide which browser to have installed on your PC in the first place.

I’d rather uninstall Chrome, TBH. If you need a Chromium browser, Edge is just better. And Bing is about as good as Google for most searches. Only a handful of things (like default maps) do I switch for. Which is honestly staggering because Bing used to be such shit in comparison. Google has really let itself go.

Edge is bloated as fuck, just opening it for the first time prompts you with a 3 step dialing you can’t close about how Microsoft value your privacy and which setting you should choose.

Microsoft cares about my privacy? Since when do they care about privacy?

I used to feel this way, but the aggressiveness at switch Edge pushes every new feature - re-enabling after disabling, constant nags, etc - has really turned me off of it. It’s become software I regularly have to argue with.
It doesn’t help that out of the box, Edge feels like a browser that my grandmother would have maintained (with so many glued on hotbars/sidebars/shopping popups).
