In the early days of Microsoft Edge the browser was notorious for being subpar, and it definitely deserved the reputation at the time. However, Microsoft has consistently and continually improved the browser over the years, and it is capable of rivaling Chrome or Firefox in its current incarnation.
A lot of the productivity features that Microsoft keeps adding to the browser really help to set it apart from some of the more reputable browsers available. For one thing, the collections feature is very useful if you are in need of a way to save sites for research purposes. Also, the reader view button helps to make a page that would otherwise be convoluted become easier to read and skim for information.
There are some services that Microsoft Edge still does not seem to be compatible with. For instance, when using mTurk, many of the offerings that are available insist on using Google Chrome browser, and simply will not work with Edge. These are relatively rare though, and not common enough to turn me off of the browser.

For my laptop , Microsoft edge is top choice, due to simple interface. Sometimes it takes little bit times to load but its acceptable. As a primary browser, it needs to improve extension store. I found it interesting for some tools like taking screenshot, natural reading mode.
Very fast and simple interface , helps me to use it with ease. Privacy and password saving option is very updated.In tab section, I can easily make tab group according to topic categories, which save my time to find relatable tabs.Immerse reader mode i found interesting , voice used in this section is more natural than others.Taking full page screen shot by only scrolling without help of external tools is very useful for me.
Main limitation I found it has less extension than other web browsers. loading time takes some time , it performs letter okey.

I would compare it favorably to having a full frontal lobotomy.
It integrated Chrome plugins OK. The Chromium base does help it work with the things you'd like to use it for.
If I understand correctly, Macroswift (Mycroswaffed?) set it up uniquely to be able to take care of the full hardware capabilities of your machine and forces other browsers to make do with the leftovers. Edge can go in a dark corner and do unpleasant things to itself.It also sucked for feedback for web development.

Microsoft Edge is much better than Internet Explorer and today I use it daily (I use more than a browser), especially if I have to interact with old websites, -I have to set Edge in compatibility mode-. It's a good browser, no problems at all. Quite fast to load, perfect as PDF reader.
Edge auto updates, so you don't have to worry about it. It's already installed on your Microsoft Windows and supports old web sites (internet explorer compatibility). It opens quite fast and never hangs. It can read pdf files. A good choice if you don't want or need to install additional browsers.
Above all the default search engine and default page

previously Microsoft Edge was named as Microsoft explorer, every time I used that I have pain in my head. If i have to compare now that with Microsoft Edge, they came long way with success, I love the new EDGE download system, with bookmarking option, it definitely up to the standard now. Through they need to work on the extension area, to compete with other successful browser.
For easy, Day to day browsing Microsoft edge is the best for now. With good response time it could be the no 1 for now. Download manager is quite good for me. They are continuously adding more option to us to feel much better, such as Microsoft Edge now can use as PDF reader. it also consume low RAM , as a result my pc is faster.
Loading time still have some lacking's, need to be more fast. beside they need to work on the extension area. new websites launch extensions to give us good user experiance, they need to take this step to provide friendly environment to us.
