Who the fuck even uses Edge?

The only reason I even have it installed is to test websites (developer).

Think about all offices, businesses and personal computers of people who don't deeply know about computers

I was kinda more referencing people on Lemmy. I know there are a lot of people that are clueless. I have several users that use Edge and it's a constant battle.

as far as a chromium skin goes, it's far better than chrome - especially with tab grouping, vertical tabs, and profile link handling.

As a sysadmin in a Microsoft shop, it has a lot of management features that I like. Users generally love Chrome and hate Firefox (for some reason, I dunno) so Edge was a good compromise while it still supported ublock.

Normies too lazy to install something different.

Normies don't use adblockers though. So this doesn't change a thing, lol.

Hence why normies use Edge, they didn't change a thing.
