Edge is good compared to IE which was a dumpster fire, and arguably about as bad as Chrome. Both are privacy nightmares and desire nothing more than to harvest your data for ad companies. I trust Google a hair more than I do Microsoft. I don't use Chrome. That should tell you something.
I disagree. Chrome is a simple well designed browser that happens to be run by a company that tries to push things we don't like, such as FLoC.
Edge is full of bloatware and dark patterns. You're probably thinking of the early versions of Edge when none of that crap had been added yet... but trust me it's a very different browser now. In fact it's worse than IE ever was.
Meh. My work gives me the choice of Chrome and Edge. I decided to try edge to get access to bing chat last year, and I've found it to be a pleasant experience compared to chrome. It's got some neat features, and the built in copilot AI can be handy. I haven't missed chrome (or Google for that matter) in the year I've been using edge. It's fine. Still use Firefox on my personal laptop and phone though.
You can just use a firefox plugin for Bing chat FYI
