Microsoft Says It Has Resolved an Issue With Bing Which Was Causing It To Push Malware When Users Searched for Chrome (howtogeek.com)

Chris Hoffman, writing for How To Geek: You launch Edge on your new PC, search for "download Chrome," and click the first result headed to "google.com" on Bing. You're now on a phishing website pushing malware, disguised to look like the Chrome download page. That's the story Gabriel Landau tells on Twitter. We were able to reproduce this problem, although it doesn't happen every time. Usually, you'll end up seeing an ad for "https://www.google.com". That goes to the real Chrome download page, and everything is fine. But, sometimes, you'll see an ad for "google.com". Guess what -- that doesn't actually go to Google.com. This ad was created by a scammer and goes elsewhere. Microsoft is apparently not verifying the web address the advertisement actually goes to. Bing is letting this advertisement to lie to people. Microsoft says it has resolved the issue.

The only thing Edge is good for...

Re:Edge has replaced Internet Explorer

Edge is decent at rendering web pages. However, a few misconfigured network settings and it can't even load pages on some networks. If you allow "discovery" on networks behind pfsense, it can't work properly.

The other issue is that it has far less ad-ons than Firefox or chrome.

Finally, Opera is Chromium. Chrome is Chromium. They are the same browser with a different UI. It's all blink.
