The Web Browser From Microsoft!
Microsoft Edge is a browser that combines a minimal design with
sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier.
Hope you enjoy using it on your PC or laptop. It comes pre-installed in >>> Windows but Linux Ubuntu or Mint users can download a deb file from this >>> link:

Are you lost?
Sure seems that way.
Frankly the ONLY reason I haven't un-installed Edge is that Microsoft
MIGHT want to use it for updates.
It's a resource pig and slower than what I use so it's a drain on my
system not a helper.
For me, Edge's biggest deal killer is that I'm unable to find a setting
that prevents the program from closing when the last tab is closed.
However, there are other issues about Edge that lead to me intensely
disliking it. I was using Edge Blocker:
https://www.sordum.org/9312/edge-blocker-v2-0/
but eventually blocking Edge led to problems because doing so also
prevented updates to the bloatware.
Now I allow Edge, but not in the background. Every time I open it, it
duns me to make it the default browser. M$ needs to wake up to the fact
that this kind of tactic only serves to generate hatred towards their
company.
