I hate Microsoft with a seething passion, they haven't made me do anything.
- It's a shame because Edge is actually pretty solid now. I just refuse to use it because I don't trust Microsoft (and try to stick with Gecko wherever possible).
Chrome or Edge (and also metioned Opera) , it is the same engine the same restrictions on extensions the same anti features to lock down the web.
If you want to enjoy free web switch to Firefox.
- I'd like to see Mozilla really focus on Firefox instead of these other services and projects. Android app especially could use significant attention.
  
  Firefox and thunderbird, imo. That's the bread n butter
I installed the edge browser on my android phone to use thier excellent voice to text for audiobooks. Having great features is a seelling point. Now, if they became more privacy focused I might consider switching, but Firefox is my main for now.
- Agreed. The browser is good but I don't trust it for regular usage due to privacy concerns.
I used it at first as a stripped down, not Google, chrome. Then it feels like they keep adding stuff to it. I don’t need the prompted coupons on every site.
