    I have a Windows 10 tablet, and Edge is the primary browser I use on it.

    It's the only browser that even comes close to having a touch-capable UI. Both Firefox and Chrome removed their touch UIs.

    Touch UIs suck on a desktop but they're rather important when you're using a, you know, touch device.

    If I'm using my tablet with a keyboard and mouse I usually use something else because Edge lacks adblock, but that's not a terribly common situation.

    Of the non-Edge browsers I've tried, Opera comes closest to being usable on a 9" touchscreen, but it's still pretty rough.
