I don't think people would've complained so much about Edge if it wasn't the monster full of adware that it is today.

I actually used Edge for a few years when it came out and it was good, but each version they shoved something new in your face and I had to go back to Chrome.

Edge used to be a legitimately valid choice

Edge was great just after they switched to Chromium and lead the way on battery optimizations. And then every team started an everlasting "who can exhaust the patience of their users the fastest and get them to either give in to microsoft-everything or switch away from edge" contest.
