I had switched to Edge for a year or two but was eventually pushed back to Chrome a few months ago because I got sick of how often they were shoving services I don't want to use in my face.
Plus it seems to have some kind of quality control issue. Pretty glaring bugs were making their way into the stable channel, and they wouldn't be fixed for far too long. There was a several week span (maybe even months?) where in Edge for Windows, clicking and dragging the scrollbar would make the scrollbar disappear and the entire web page would jut to the side. I don't recall ever having issues like that in Chrome, let alone as often as they happened on Edge.
And another minor niggling is the awkward update process on macOS. Chrome can just install updates in the background, then I click a button to restart the browser and the update is done. With Edge you have to do updates through their janky Microsoft updater application which you don't even install manually and can't seem to launch manually. It just appears when it wants to and then disappears again until the next time it decides to appear.
