    Why MS Edge Browser not so Popular?


    Despite Edge being one of the secure browsers out there (close to Chrome's security sandboxed environment), why are not so many people using it? Not just from a security standpoint, but its much faster as well. I can think of one simple reason, maybe the lack of extensions?

    Being that said, I think I am noticing some slowness in IE 11 as well and maybe MS is doing this on purpose to move people over to using Edge. Its only a theory.

    Let me know your thoughts on this.

    :)

    Why MS Edge Browser not so Popular?

    MS Edge not listed in default browsers

    MS Edge has some shortcomings, and I changed my default browser to IE 11 (in Windows 10).

    As I've learned some workarounds for some of the Edge shortcomings, I felt I was ready to once again try Edge as my default browser. I went to Settings, System, Default apps, and scrolled to Web browser. Internet Explorer was shown there, of course, I clicked
    it, and the pop-up/drop-down list of available browsers displayed. It showed Internet Explorer, Google Chrome (which is installed), and Search for an app in the Store. Microsoft Edge, which is certainly on my machine and which I use regularly from the icon
    on my taskbar, is not shown as an option in the pop-up/drop-down list.

    Why is this, and what must I do to make Edge be my default browser?

    (And I swear, if some Microsoft Tech comes here and tells me to go to Settings, System, Default apps, Web browser, and choose Edge from the list, I'm making a nationally publicized walk to Seattle.)
