    Hmm, strange that none of the options is:

    Microsoft is an evil company that tried to destroy the open World Wide Web. They abused their monopoly to drive Netscape out of business, and were convicted of doing that in court. Their famous “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” strategy broke standard HTML, broke Javascript, broke Java applets, and so-on. They also attempted to destroy Linux, spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt to make people afraid to use it. The reason I don’t use Edge isn’t about Edge, but about Microsoft. Whenever I have a chance to avoid using a Microsoft product, I take it.

      But if that’s really how you feel, you likely wouldn’t be running Windows (and hence be stuck with Edge as your default browser) in the first place.

        If it’s a work issued computer, they might not have a say in the choice of OS.

        Until recently, getting games to work on Linux was a real pain. The main purpose of my Windows machine is for games.
