That's insane. Edge is one big ad. Have you even ever opened it? Their home page is a tabloid.

It is configurable, my Edge home page is just a search bar + the weather.
Fair enough, but only ~5% of Microsoft revenue comes from ad dollars. It's not clear to me why I should switch to a browser which is funded primarily with ad money vs. just turning off the Edge features I don't like. (FWIW, I used Firefox for many years, and my daily driver is currently Chrome.)
Don't insult tabloids like that. The information content of your average tabloid is much higher.
