Edge was doomed from the start because it didn't do enough to distinguish itself from the much maligned IE. Microsoft should have at least changed the logo. As for the future, Firefox is at a huge disadvantage here. Performance... reputation... stability... those are important metrics, but Google has a big advantage when it comes to mindshare. When people buy an Android phone, it ships with Chrome. When people go to google.com, they are prompted to install Chrome. When people go to work, their IT department often supports Chrome as the primary browser - especially if their company uses the Google suite. When the average person thinks of a browser, they think of Chrome. For better or worse, I think Microsoft is the only organization who can reasonably compete with Google on that playing field.
