To keep you using Edge. I'd be really embarrassed if I were them.

You could try downloading Brave browser, which is pretty small and private. Don't swap all your settings over, but use Brave to download Firefox. Around a year ago I ditched Firefox in favour of Waterfox, which is almost the same but less resource hungry and it uses the same add-ons as FF.

I know this seems the long way around, but Brave with DuckDuckGo is a handy little browser and search engine to have as a spare.
