Maybe an unpopular opinion, especially in a place like Lemmy, but I use Edge for my browser and Authenticator for password management. Easy, don’t have to think about it, and support for chrome extensions with less memory overhead, ime.
I felt like people dislike Edge due to brand awareness + bad experinece in the past (Microsoft, Explorer, Edge, all have a negative and comical association for many people who grew up with Windows).
If given a chance, I bet even Edge would be a decent enough browser on production level. But still, I find it funny and desperate to leave such messages to try to persuade users not to churn away to other browsers.
I made the switch to Edge from Chrome because something borked in my Chrome with it trying to synchronize my theme colors and either not doing it correctly, or not contrasting the text correctly.
They undoubtedly fixed the bug by now, but after switching to Edge and messing around with the settings, I can say I like it just the same as Chrome. Maybe even a bit better in certain areas (i.e. not eating all of my RAM)

That’s fair, I do wonder if it’s really affective at all and how many people they persuade away with it.
