If, however, you do want to use Edge then you'll find it's actually a decent browser, despite a few notable flaws.

One thing to note in particular is that running Edge on a touchscreen laptop or tablet yields the best results, as Microsoft has optimised it to support touch or pen input. Websites can be doodled on, shared and generally messed around with in a way that other browsers won’t really let you do. 

Microsoft has also put in a ton of effort to make Edge fast and, above all, battery efficient. Anyone that’s ever used Chrome on their laptop will tell you that it just eats battery life, so this may be a refreshing change for some – though we’ll have to wait to see if Edge’s move to Chromium will change this. 

Favourites, browsing history, passwords, and so on can be shared between Windows 10 devices, too, which means that using Edge on one machine will be the same experience as using Edge on another. It's worth taking some time to give Edge at least a tryout before you decide it's a problem and make any vows involving bargepoles and so on.
