Last I tried to customize Edge I got held up at simple things like installing an AdBlocker. Once I got that installed, which I had to do through the Windows Store, it seemed to still load ads but not display them for multiple AdBlockers tested which defeats the purpose for me. I block ads to improve page load speeds. I also didn't have any customization of the bar that the URL block resides on. I wanted to remove basic things like the share button which I never use and could not.
Chrome is developed and maintained by an ad company that actively doesn't allow extensions on the mobile version. It also uses significantly more RAM on my small laptops than Firefox. I like to use Firefox on Android and my desktop computers/laptops so I can sync them all and have a browser that allows me to install extensions on mobile (like AdBlockers). This is less of an issue on iOS due to the native content blocking API which Google will never add to Android because they are an ad company.
This seems a bit anti-ad now that I reread it but I'm going to go ahead and post it anyways, replace AdBlocker with any extension or customization. So the answer is choice and freedom, if you don't see a problem with Edge and Chrome then use Edge and Chrome. You should support content creators and use what you like to use. I like to use Firefox because it uses less RAM, allows extensions across all platforms, and is developed by a company that I trust a lot more than the alternatives.
