Maybe you should think more laterally; why not embrace Edge as the
current/future standard Windows browser?

IMO, the only thing Edge has going for it is that it wears the crown as
worst browser, which it stole from IE by being, well, worse. It does,
however, work great to download a better browser.

What alternative is there?
It's very quick to open (compare to IE or Chrome or Firefox) with
useful additions available for ad blocking and so on. Improvements
continue as Windows releases new versions (Redstone 4, 5 and so on).

I like the question about alternatives because it's followed by a list
of (better) alternatives. :-)
