Y'all I dislike forced browser adoption as much as the next guy.
And I've been using Firefox for years and years and years now.
But, I'm forced to use edge for work. And, as a browser purely, none of the anti-trust baggage attached....
It's really not too bad. A lot of things work just fine. And sometimes, if I'm having weird performance on a website on a personal device, loading the same URL in edge has resulted in improved/expected functionality of the website
I continue to use Firefox because I started using it a while ago and would rather not switch. I have to use Edge for school and it's legitimately equal to Firefox in many ways. With Bing AI added, Edge blows Firefox out of the water.
The only reason Bing AI only works on Edge is because Bing AI specifically checks for edge. There was an extension that made it work on Firefox by simply lying about the browser, but Microsoft DMCA'd the developer.
