I always set the default page to about:blank as part of the initial configuration in all the browsers I've ever used. Edge is MS's poor clone of Chrome --- it neither appeals to those who actually want Chrome, nor those who want Firefox, nor even those who want IE. Of those I know who don't use Chrome or Firefox (and are not good with computer) but IE, I've heard them refer to Edge as "that weird ugly thing" when they manage to accidentally open it.
