I use Opera because it uses less memory on my tiny $175 laptop.

Honestly Edge might be better at this point but it really doesn't matter. Google won the browser war years ago and people have too much inertia to care
Yeah it’s fair; trying to download Chrome when Edge is already there doesn’t make sense to me
Do you also question why Burger Kings exist when McDonalds is already there too?

I think I am okay with this popup, I mean they are asking whats wrong with their product. They arent trying to break something in Chrome or like that.
If Edge stops forcing everyone with their "new and improved AI powered..." stuff, it is better than Chrome.
Edge was good at launch, it's still okay but it's kind of a bloated mess now

The stupid sidebar on the right is reason enough for me, but I also want an adblocker that's not crippled.
Reminds me a bit of that scene in "2001 - A Space Odyssey" where Bowman unplugs HALs memory modules, and HAL begs him not to do that.
They think Chrome as everybody have a Gmail account but not Microsoft account. I dont think you can login to Edge with a Google account and get all your stuff there. At minimum you first must install Chrome, then start Edge and trigger the import process - but why do that when you now already have Chrome installed?
This is true for all other browsers.
