Chrome works better on M1 / Big Sur than it ever did on Intel / Catalina; Edge will catch up in due time.
Firefox is extremely buggy right now, even if it claims to be Universal (where art thou Rust tooling?), so perhaps the wait-and-see approach is right.
On the MacBook Air I have here (8 GB RAM / 512 GB SSD), it’s quite clear that Apple is onto something here.

This has gotta be the first time I’ve heard of anyone using Edge on macOS... I mean, why?

Going off the rest of his stack, probably corporate reasons.

the reviewer mentioned word and excel and teams - very likely they're "all in" on the ms office suite, except for... running it on windows.

Cross-browser testing of web apps would be one use case.

Edge has the same engine as Chrome, so no real reason to test both in most circumstances.
I'll sum up his unique complaints... Lots of old Microsoft specific software still doesn't work well at the moment. If you are an enthusiastic Edge browser user, this laptop probably isn't for you.
