Let’s be clear: it’s a very good browser, very HTML5 compliant, and perhaps one of the best browsers…
…Assuming you don’t care about insane amounts of spyware - AND not having a lot of really cool browser add-ons (those having spyware and memory leaks is a separate topic, but I want to acknowledge these problems).
Edge makes more calls home per second than any other piece of software on my computer. I looked at my live log and it was a literal stream. Nearly every single action you do is tracked and sent… (waves hands confusingly up in the air in circles) …somewhere. Likely Microsoft, but I really don’t know.
Almost all of Windows is like this too. I hate it so much. There’s just no great way to have nice things right now.
I’m happy with edge. Been using it since the beta. Helps that my personal email is @outlook and I am an annual subscriber because of a work discount, so it has that nice ecosystem sync.
On the flipside, atm Edge seems to be the better Chromium choice (if you don’t have a Microsoft hate boner).

@SCmSTR Linux, Firefox, Lineage OS

So I need to install Windows to use a “better Chromium choice” than Vivaldi?
Edge is available on Linux
Afaik Edge is available on Linux too. Haven’t tried it there yet as I am on the edge (hehe) about switching from Windows to Linux as daily driver.
Edge is on Linux, and brave is pretty good as well imo
Edge is available as a DEB and RPM, as well as Flatpak
