I nearly considered moving to Edge on my last Windows install.

In the end, it's true that IE/Edge were bad choices before moving to WebKit. Now, why not? A more integrated browser (as Safari is for Mac) makes sense x Google being evil(er) x Firefox being left behind (for bad reasons, but still) x Bing being a good Bing x Google Search being less useful.

I agree the method isn't good, but feels like Edge is not a bad choice anymore.

"Edge is not a bad choice anymore"!? That's your response to discovering Edge is injecting ads in competitors' websites?

Any browser that crosses this line is irredeemably corrupt in my book. I will not have it.

Firefox certainly hasn't been left behind. I'm not a Firefox fanatic and don't use it all the time but it's far from a bad/abandoned browser.

Do you like a browser that doesn't end to end encrypt your browsing history when syncing it? Because that's what Edge does, and there's no option to turn e2ee on as far as I know. As far as I know, Chrome doesn't default to it, but it can be turned on.

Brave, Vivaldi and Firefox all operate independent sync services that are zero knowledge.

It's bad for privacy. Worse than chrome IMHO. For me it's either firefox or brave.
