Microsoft Edge, anyone?

I recently discovered that you can get Microsoft Edge for Linux (🤢🤮) and am curious... does anyone here use Edge for Linux, or have you ever? What was your reasoning for using it?

EDIT: Well, you all have provided some interesting perspectives I hadn't ever considered. Including one which means I'll have to install Edge, so... thanks, I guess. 😂

I'll say this, I never used edge before, but it's comparable with a bunch of my work sites so I was kind of forced into using it. It's actually pretty great. Better overall than stock chrome, though I prefer brave or Firefox for non work related stuff.

Once I started using Edge, I was surprised by how well it worked.

If your org uses any of the Microsoft suite apps Edge is just better. It sucks that Microsoft is allowed to do this

It's basically the same thing google did with chrome in the beginning of Google docs. I haven't noticed much difference between chrome and edge, but I rarely use them for the same things l.

I have to use edge in some of my work environments, my only complaint is the locked in ecosystem. As a browser it seems fine for now...
