The performance is pretty on-par with other major browsers now, but it is the obscene amount of popups built into the browser that irritates me.

I use edge for work every day, what popups?

Same I'm a developer who uses edge as my daily driver and once setup right I love it

I use arc on my mac and it’s nowhere near as nice as that, but I like the side tabs, the way it gets out of the way when I’m searching, and bing isn’t too bad; I’ve actually used it a few times. Once I found a customizable start page I haven’t looked back. Again, for work

There’s the shopping popup that tries to find better deals or vouchers for products you’re looking at. It’s easy to turn off though.

Searching the settings for “notification” does show others - a feature called Discover and sidebar apps seem to be able to send notifications but I’ve never seen either.
