Chrome, Firefox or Edge or something else?

It appears my new computer wants me to use Edge, which I never heard of until today. Since I am pondering which browser to use I have been reading up on all of them. (Something I should never have done LOL)
I like Chrome even though it has a few issues....I liked Firefox for a while until it slowed my computer down to a crawl. But I am debating between FF and Chrome.
Those of you using Windows 10, what browser to you use and what problems if any have you had? Thanks.

I have Windows 10. I do most things on Chrome. I used to use FF but it freezes constantly and runs scripts. When I got 10, I never loaded FF. I use Edge for Microsoft Rewards (used to be Bing). Edge seems to be better now than it was when I first got 10.

I must be missing something with Edge - it's doesn't look anything like a web browser unless I'm supposed to do something to it/with it?

@AbbyGreenhill I like the news on there and some of the searches. I get extra MS Rewards credits by using Edge.
There is a lot of neat stuff you can supposedly do on Edge but I have not figured out how to do any of it.

@AbbyGreenhill This seems quite odd because the address bar is on the toolbar.

@AbbyGreenhill There are many browsers to pick from and none are poor, so using the one that you are comfortable with makes perfect sense.

@Asylum It just looks 'funny/odd' to me. I am going to stick with Chrome for now.

I can't say that I have used edge, but I do know if you are a bing rewards user then you get points each month for using it.

@AbbyGreenhill I do. Five bucks twice a month is fine with me. I just use the search app on my phone for all my searches.

I have only tried Edge and Chrome. Chrome is what I have now. Just have to keep it up to date and cleaned out or you get some glitches but I think that's true of all of them.

Well, you will need to upgrade at some point in the near future.

I use Windows 10 at home. Edge is one of its browsers as well as IE. But most of the time I still like to use Chrome and it works well in my computer. In fact Firefox also works well. So my computer has Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE, I don't install other browsers.

I think you have enough browsers already LOL I am going to use chrome since I'm familiar with it and comfortable.

Depending on the day? Not sure what you mean. I tried FF a few years back and it was slower than the checkout lanes at WW.

I recently started using Windows 10 and haven't yet used Edge. I have been using Firefox. I opened Edge and this (see photo above) shows up. I entered the word "ghost" (
)to start searching. It worked fine!

I have windows 10 and I use Chrome. I only downloaded FF for a website I had to use for my anatomy class because it didn't work on anything else. I never use it now because when I try to it always tells me I have a bug and when I try to fix it it does nothing. I should probably get around to uninstalling it.
