Microsoft Edge is worthwhile in 2023
Jesus Christ, Edge is an ACTUALLY GOOD WEB BROWSER. It's based on Chromium, so there's no usable difference, plus you can access https://passwords.google.com in Edge with no issue. Most of the sites are tested on Google Chrome first, so they'll be just as well-optimised for Microsoft Edge with no fuss whatsoever, 'sides from Google's nagging, which is just as annoying, imo

Really. That's your pitch. It's like chrome. Awesome...
Better than IE at least.
Firefox > Chrome > Edge > IE
Exactly. Since users already have Chrome installed, even if it's "Google Chrome at home", it's still solid
You should be flogged with a herring imho
Firefox users are literally screaming right now. This isn't even a unpopular opinion. This is a garbage opinion.
Confirming i am a firefox user and came here to scream
I only have Edge to use Teams in it, because it does not 100% work in Firefox (I'm in Linux).
Edge would be fine if it weren't spyware and nagware. In functionality it's ... a web browser. In privacy it's a horror. In its proclivity to nag you to perdition its UX is splatterpunk.
Counterpoint: When I accidentally run edge, it leaves a search box on my desktop and an icon in the system tray. It got crappier.
Edge is great for Enterprise customers.
All those privacy issues turn into benefits as it falls into your tenant and is covered by your existing contracts and encryption keys.
Profile and password sync becomes useful.
Byod is so much easier when their edge browser supports app management configurations.
The home page and Bing search displays internal results in addition to external through seamless Federated search.
There’s a lot more simple little things that add up to an overall huge improvement over trying to use chrome or Firefox.
