IMO Edge is a fine browser - snappy, stable, up-to-date with web standards.

My big beef with it is that it tries to force feed me Bing wherever it can (even after switching the default search engine). That's a big no-no.

I’m using Edge and haven’t noticed any Bing promotions. Using DDG for my default search engine.

But I did notice google is trying to force feed me Chrome when I visit google’s web sites. I click “No I don’t want Chrome” in these popups, the popup disappears for a few days and then pops up again.
