It literally took me less than ten minutes to set up firefox. I carried all my bookmarks and passwords from edge and set up a mozilla account and everything is synced across linux, windows and android.

The only thing I’m worried of, is if some websites require chrome to work, as was the case with some government sites that only worked with internet explorer in the old days.

(Does anyone know if the default user agent is chrome? I used to log in a local streaming site from edge and it wouldn’t work, as it required chrome, but I used an extension to take care of the user agent. On firefox it works no problem.)

I’m using the Chrome Mask extension on the few sites that complain

I recommend the User-Agent Switcher and Manager Firefox addon for those struggling with some sites.

You can also report a broken site to Mozilla directly via the browser menu.

There was another (third-party?) page where you could report websites but I forgot its url.

I used this extension on edge to view one particular site (although I never managed to make it auto load on that page, but meh). As I said firefox seems to work without it for some reason.

Just use Edge on sites that don’t support Firefox, if you must use them. Same as how we used IE for government sites back in the day.

Why not use chromium or a hardened version of it? Edge is proprietary software.

From my experience, most of those websites that want a specific browser require edge these days. Some streaming sites will only give FHD on edge, and HD streams on other browsers if at all (looking at you Vudu).
