I have switched to Edge, not because it is necessarily a better browser, but because Google has become abusive.
Consider for example, this Chrome setting: Settings > Sync and Google Services > Allow Chrome sign-in. The description says "By turning this off, you can sign in to Google sites like Gmail without signing in to Chrome".
Turn this feature off and sign into Gmail. Chrome will sign you into the browser as well -- regardless of your setting -- so now the browser knows who you are.
This is pretty abusive. For this reason I have made Edge my default browser.
