Edge being "forced" on me. I do use Edge once in a while because I like the way it installs downloads, but that is a preference and nothing critical. If an extra click or two the occasional time Edge pops up is an overwhelming problem, seek help.

Opera and Vivaldi are my two primary browsers, and they work exactly as I tell them to. So does Firefox now that they fixed some really nasty bugs. I also have Pale Moon and Epic Privacy Browser sitting around, but don't use them much.

I don't use Chrome, ever-- Vivaldi has a much better design using the Chrome engine, and Google isn't looking over my shoulder.

Anyone else a fan of Vivaldi?
