I got scared away from Edge with its 10 dark pattern popups you get when you first open it. I haven't had such a horrible experience in a long, long time.

But are you sure you're not unsure that you don't not want to not make Edge not the undefault browser?

You can try Ungoogled Chromium. It's an offshoot based on Chromium, just like Edge basing on Chromium, without the Google stuff.

No good browser.

its a conundrum. WebKit is a great engine, but nearly all good implementations are provided by Corps who's interests have very little to do with providing a good browser, and lots to do with what you do with that browser.

Firefox in turn might be one of the last major alternative Engines that is maintained by a company who's mission indeed is in a large parts to provide you with a good browser, but seems to progressively struggle to do so, while the engine is a good part of that problem aswell.

I find it harder and harder to deal with the many issues in daily usage -- and from a dev standpoint, FF is slowly surpassing Safari as the main blocker for being able to adopt new web frontend features.

I dearly hope Mozilla can get back on track. Accessing the open web shouldn't end up depending on a pick of Google, Microsoft or Apple.
