This shit is absolutely atrocious and shows how far we've fallen.
Microsoft almost got broken up as a company over simply BUNDLING a browser. Now they're actively hijacking other installs to put big warnings up and redirecting to theirs. It's absolutely bonkers this is allowed.
Ive given Edge a shot before and it was pretty decent. Sucks for M$ this is how they behave when people don't chose them.
When they first went to chromium it was decent. Then every update since they add more bloatware and popups saying to add their tracker so you can get discounts and shit.
Uninstalled windows and swapped to Firefox. Now I don't deal with any of that
I tried edge when it first came out. It didn't support add-ons and had no adblock. I didn't try it for very long. If they have since added that support, good for them... it should have blocked ads from the start of development.
They replaced the original Edge with an Edge/Microsoft branded Chromium fork a few years ago, so it supports all addons Chrome does.
