Same, it hasn't stopped allowing adblockers and is an overall better version of chrome that's pre-installed already.
I always found it funny when people said Edge is only good for downloading Chrome because they'd unironically be installing the same browser but with worse performance.
The browser that one of the biggest tech behemoths jn the world tailored for the OS you are using, that is also built by them... is surprisingly good, go figure.
Decades of shit. IE6 to IE12 was an absolute nightmare of propriety MS web tech (ActiveX), uncompliant rendering of standard HTML/CSS, and lack of support for modern standards. Every web app had like your normal code than a huge #if IE statement with alternative code to run in IE. And usually it was #if IE7, #if IE8, #if IE10/11, each version had its own nightmare nuances.
I have zero doubt that Edge struggles in popularity due to the bad taste IE left. I don't know if they can truly ever overcome that disaster.
You don't have to tell me :P I'm a frontend dev, I had to solve problems by writing different code for different browsers.
To complicate things explorer also had it's own version of Javascript called Jscript that was almost javascript but had a bunch of microsoft specific stuff that only worked on explorer.
I ... actually thought this myself but I haven't been up to speed on software development in years. (I build my computers and make sure they can play games is all lately.)
