I used Edge for business tasks. Not like work task, or normal browsing, etc. But figured if someone was going to send me an excel document, if I say “well I opened it in edge" when it breaks, it avoids some problems.

But with the latest updates they've really been "Microsofting" it hardcore. Chrome dialogs with broken buttons, impossible to use combined tabs behaviour, dead end settings pages with no controls, crashes, slower and slower browsing...

It's becoming such a disaster I can't even use it for that anymore. Now this? Thank god Firefox is still around. Legit hearing people talking about it again...
