I've been using Edge for 2 years now. No problems whatsoever ever. You can stop begging MS.

The begging is considered a feature

Bing chat has saved edge and bing search for me, it just works. I ask it a random question, like how many spiders you'd have to eat to have eaten a pound of them and it just tells me and shows the work. I don't need to look up how much a spider weights and then do math myself, it just does it.

Firefox is still my main browser, but I'll open edge to ask dumb questions and I have a lot of stupid questions and it has answers without me needing to dig through bullshit to find what I need.

Get the extension that enables bing chat for Firefox

Sounds like good opportunity for US and Europe to whip out some fines over Anticompetitive practices. With Microsoft sort of being repeat offender the fines should reflect that.

Honestly with Edge being not too bad alternative for Chrome this sort of shady behavior from Microsoft doesn't do it any good at least in my eyes.

I used and liked it for a few years, but now they started filling it with bloat ware again... switched to Firefox last month.

I use it at work all the time and frankly, it's completely functional. I also prefer the Bing image search over Google images search these days... And I was a hardcore googler back in the day!
