Except they force side buttons and other crap onto it.
Just started it for you, since I'm on my work device which runs Windows.
What exactly do you mean? Looks like a plain browser window to me.
I had to disable some outlook sync feature a while ago that opened on every new tab, otherwise it's been fine.
Yep. It is very integrated into the OS. Since it is the OS default browser released by the same company as the OS this is no surprise.
As a tech-savvy user one can configure it to their use case. Everyone else can simply use it as it is and they will be fine most of the time.
You can disable those
I know, but it's like all windows crapware, "you can disable them" yeah that sucks because from time to time it's Kazoing back after a reboot...
