Wasn't really sure where to put this so my bad if its in the wrong spot. Anyway I recently switched to edge. Honestly I thought it was gonna suck, but I'm loving it. Its my default right now. Its clean and fast. What do you guys think about it? Have you tries it out?

I use Microsoft Edge from time to time and In my experience, It's very stable and responsive.
It's certainly a vast Improvement from Internet Explorer.

While I'm too far removed from microsoft browers (firefox actually supports webstandards properly) what little I used of edge was pretty good.

I use it as my main browser, I absolutely love the collections feature. I'm not sure if Chrome has this as I haven't use another browser in a while, but when I minimize Edge the CPU usage goes down to about 1% which is super useful for playing YouTube in the background or whatever. It also has support for Chrome extensions which are incredibly useful, and a bit of integration with Microsoft accounts.

Microsoft has come a long way from Internet Explorer. That was the browser for installing real browsers. Now they seem to have an "edge" in the modern browser market.
But I just don't feel like I trust Microsoft enough to leave Edge as my main browser. I'm already entrusting with them too much by using Windows way more than I should be. And I am already comfortable with the Ungoogled Chromium experience so I don't ever feel like switching unless there's some dire need to.

I use the TOR Browser Bundle as my primary web browser, with uBlock Origin installed -- I just disable the TOR network while using the browser.
