Hmm, strange that none of the options is:

Microsoft is an evil company that tried to destroy the open World Wide Web. They abused their monopoly to drive Netscape out of business, and were convicted of doing that in court. Their famous "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" strategy broke standard HTML, broke Javascript, broke Java applets, and so-on. They also attempted to destroy Linux, spreading Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt to make people afraid to use it. The reason I don't use Edge isn't about Edge, but about Microsoft. Whenever I have a chance to avoid using a Microsoft product, I take it.
