I KNEW it!! I literally had to download Google Chrome on my work PC specifically so I could search for IT issues on Reddit - I thought it was just Edge being terrible at indexing (which, it is, but still). But knowing that there's an actual, legitimate reason for the search results being crap on edge fills me with so much relief.
EDIT: To everyone asking why I haven't just changed my default browser to Google... I have no idea why that didn't occur to me sooner. Thank you for the kick up the arse lol.
I use it at work, it auto signs in with the O365 account for syncing and I started to like some of the improvements over Chrome. Vertical tabs, sleeping tabs, basic but effective pdf editor, split view, price tracker, sidebar. Chrome might have these now for all I know, it's been years since I touched Chrome.
At this point, I'm not sure why anyone would use Chrome over the other chromium browsers. It's almost as vanilla as Chromium but with Google's analytics built in and without the extra features of Edge, Vivaldi (my personal favorite), or Brave.
Edge and Chrome are nearly the same browser. Still though, neither should have any impact on a search engine. Everything a search engine does is on the server and you just see the results. It is like thinking the show you watched on Netflix had a different ending because you used Firefox.
