Everything I've heard is that touch support is completely destroyed in this one.

This completely destroys my main use case for my Surface. I need a tablet with a web browser that's designed to be used in portrait mode without the Type Cover attached.

Can anyone here recommend a UWP web browser I can switch to when the real Edge goes away for good? Or if none exists, can someone recommend a cheap 12"+ tablet that runs a mobile OS?

Ironically it has brought a breath of fresh air to my surface in tablet mode. I use it everyday with touchscreen only and find it very satisfying.

I've been using Edge Dev on my Surface Laptop 2 for months now... touch support is just as good as it's always been.
