Just another reason to hate Edge. This is from Edge Dev and will be force fed to the release soon.
Nice big Bing icon that opens the Discover sidebar. Profile pic is now on the left side of the tab bar.

Man, they are simply determined to drive folks away from Edge with this constant intrusion of upsell features. It's amazing how they have f***ed this up after its initial chromium rollout. Remember those days? I'm glad I'm checking out Chrome finally, after a long time away from it.Just another reason to hate Edge. This is from Edge Dev and will be force fed to the release soon.

But there must be an option to disable that.

Microsoft Edge Ads are Getting Out of Control

After watching whole video one thing is clear, he doesn't like MS and is a Google/Linux fanboi. For me features/annoyance ratio is still enough to make me continue using Edge, the day it reaches the threshold I will move on to something different, it won't be chrome though.
That being said MS is actively making Edge a worse experience day by day. Amount of bugs I have encountered is getting on my nerves, sending feedback every time is not the answer, it's not my job to report errors. These bugs are supposed to be fixed in testing stages, that's what Canary/Beta builds are for. Rant over.

Wow! I didn't know Edge was injecting ads. I guess I never thought about it. The narrator sounds like the guy from TPCSC but the channel is Mental Outlaw. What's up? Is this his free form channel to rant about whatever?
Edit: OK, I watched a part of Linux Is Free If You Don't Value Your Time and this has to be the same guy.
I agree but honestly don't know what I'm going to do. This is just so creepy.
Maybe I'm going use the 3 mainstream browsers and start compartmentalizing my browsing.

For me the added security of AppContainer is a reason to prefer Edge over Chrome. Because Microsoft preloads Edge it also starts faster than Chrome (which on my 10 year old Desktop is a big plus). The only nuisance of Edge is that I have to check from time to time whether they developed new features which can be turned of by group policy. To be honest Microsoft is not half as annoying as Hey Google on my Samsung Phone and still less annoying than the enhanced user features Samsung (tries to) install.

Indeed, Edge's available security features are one big advantage.

@Sammo and others - There have been so many recent updates and today I found a bunch of settings changed. Chrome and Firefox don't do this. I can't believe I'm shilling for Chrome! Who'da thought?

I’ve been considering going back to Chrome or a Chrome/Firefox hybrid. I have finally gotten annoyed with something in Edge…”would you like to change to Edge default settings?”. I don’t even customize much, but the few things I do are for a reason. If I say no once the answer isn’t changing next update bub.@Sammo and others - There have been so many recent updates and today I found a bunch of settings changed. Chrome and Firefox don't do this.

Edge on the PC has been fine for me for a while now but it's the Android version that is bothering me too much for more than a month now.
The main issue at the moment is scrolling lag on many websites, mainly the first scroll after loading. Couple of hours ago it received an update that has fixed the first scrolling lag on a couple of sites but now I see that the Virustotal website lags like hell. Can't do any up-down scrolling on the site without lagging. Chrome has no scrolling lag.
Also on my phone at least, Chromium engine on Android has a massive issue with loading long lists or sites like AMD driver downloader where there are many categories of hardware to choose from or when a pdf is attached in the middle of an article. All Chromium browsers get stuck, become unusable for me when I reach that attached pdf on the page or try to find my GPU from the AMD list. Firefox for Android has no such issues of scrolling lag or getting outdone by an attached pdf though it's still slower than Chromium.
Last but not least, MS still hasn't managed to fix all the syncing issues. Though my history syncing has been working fine but not for many users. Collection syncing is something that doesn't work at all for me. My Edge Android doesn't even have the option to sync collection. Luckily I don't need it.
Edge's best feature on PC is sleeping tabs. Chrome's new Memory Saver feature is useless for me as it completely kills the background tabs unlike Edge which seems to just pause the script engine and has absolutely no effect on browsing when I go back the the tab that was sleeping.

If security is important, I think chrome is better nowadays unless you always use WDAG. Faster update, less bloat that means less security issues, and about AppContainer (Chrome has it since 105:
