Windows 10: Why is microsoft pushing EDGE when it does NOT work?

MS is at it again...after coming out with a terrible OS (Windows10), in its efforts to have more control over the USER rather than BE a tool for the USER ... MS-folks want you to use EDGE as your BROWSER.

Thank goodness that I still have IE11 and, of course, a third party browser.

I have a WINDOWS8 updated machine to WINDOWS10 (which I regret) that somehow got EDGE loaded on it. The other day I attempted to open a FINANCIAL website & thought I was hit with a VIRUS. Turns out, it was EDGE. There's some kind of issue with EDGE that it keeps recycling to the same site without advancing. IF...I go to my WINDOWS7 machine OR I use WINDOWSXP, I am able to successfully log onto the site. PLEASE get rid of EDGE...it doesn't work.

And Please do not give us any new OSes or BROWSER...JUST fix what we had before.
