I'm gonna go out on a limb and play the devil's advocate. Edge actually makes a lot of optimisations and improvements that are merged into upstream chrome. While Microsoft is the shady corp that is forcing the ai garbage and data collection, the Devs are actually very competent. Edge has one huge benefit which causes me to use it across Windows, Linux and even android and that is extension support on all even mobile. No other chrome based android browser has mobile extensions and a competent or seamless sync both figured out. I like being able to check something on my phone and seamlessly pick it up on any other device. I like Vivaldi's workflow but they have yet to add mobile extensions.

>Edge is a Chrome engine browser like dozens of others out there. Why not write a new browser engine to give customers a choice? they tried that with Edge 1.0

Bro yapping about something he knows fuck all about. MS has contributed a ton to upstream Chromium, from page rendering improvements to improved efficiency for battery consumption.
