None of those things are anything close to killer features much less reasons to switch. Verticle tabs, seriously?
Split screen done well would be a killer feature for me. Last time I looked Edge support was ok, but not great. But what kills Edge for me as a daily driver is the basic usability in managing bookmarks and tabs. It's stop and go for every basic operation like dragging objects while Firefox is simply a continuous flow. Firefox is invisible, Edge just gets in the way all the time.
Otherwise Edge is not bad at all. Chrome without MV2 is dead to me.
People spend a lot of time in the web browser. So yes, they want to have a comfortable experience with it. And those features are deal breakers for a lot of people. So stating that they are not killing features is just unreasonable at best and ignorant at worst.
> Verticle tabs, seriously
Yes, I use Edge due to its vertical tabs
It is all a gimmick but as long as people are switching to a chromium based browser and not Firefox I'm happy. With that said, I don't know how anyone would trust a small team to build them a secure and safe browser. Chrome is so battle tested at this point and Google puts a lot of resources in maintaining it, they stand to lose a lot more given their scale.
Sorry that your personal use case doesn't match my use case and workflow. You keep using your tools and I'll keep using the ones I like.
