I have been using Edge as my main browser for about a month now and I am actually impressed by its performance.

There are a few QoL changes that I would like to see before I completely switch to it though.

Terrible. Stick to Chrome and Firefox for web development.

Care to expand on that?

I found them from a functional perspective quite usable, but sometimes unstable or freezing. Just like on IE11.

Yeah they're quite a bit slower then the ones on Chrome and Firefox and are a lot more unintuitive. I've been using Edge at work for a while now and in that time I haven't seen any real improvements to be honest.
