The problem isn't Edge in itself. It is good if there are many browsers. But when Javascript became more than just a play thing, all of a sudden browser slowly moved to chromium as an engine. There used to be Opera, IE, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Chrome with each their own browser engine. Now there is only Chromium/Blink, Safari and Firefox left. Google is way too powerful with their marketshare. They constantly try to implement features that are bad for users.

Please use Firefox if you can!

I know. I mixed engines and browsers. I was too lazy to find out the engine names of opera, edge and ie.

Opera had Presto.

Edge used EdgeHTML.

IE used Trident/MSHTML.
