Ha! I just wrote a very similar reply to another comment. I use Linux in my personal laptop and about 6 months ago moved from vanilla Chrome to Edge because of the vertical tabs. The UI is really neat with the grouping and coloring. I also installed Tab Suspender because I didn't know it had the "sleeping tabs" out of the box.

So far it has been a superior experience to vanilla chrome, and at least in Linux I haven't seen any "adcrap". I installed Ublock Origin and everything is pretty neat.
