Yeah, it's kinda a no-brainer. If Edge used its own engine then I could see an argument for using it if it has a specific feature that you need, but it's just Chromium underneath. Nothing really special about it.

Now hold on a second there, let's give credit where credit is due. Edge has some pretty special features about it.

Such as:

Sends images you view online to microsoft
Injects advertisements for edge into the browser whenever you go to the chrome download page
Makes itself your default browser....by force.

These are all very special features, exclusive to edge. I know of no other browser that does these things.
