Whoa, didn't expect this ... Edge must be real hobbyware crap.

Windows 10: Microsoft's new browser is a FAILURE 

Microsoft tried to move users from its infamous Internet Explorer browser 
to a minimalist new web browser dubbed Edge following the launch of 
Windows 10.

But new data has revealed that Windows 10 users are reluctant to make the 
transition.
...

Google's Chrome browser is still the most popular choice on Windows 10, 
according to San Francisco-based firm Quantcast.

The Google browser ... accounts for a staggering 70 per cent of all 
browser activity originating from Windows 10.
...

It is surprising that Microsoft has not managed to capture more users 
with its new browser.

Edge is the default browser that ships with Windows 10 – and is even 
promoted during the upgrade process.

Unless you are actively reading, checking and carefully choosing your 
options during the installation, the operating system will swap any rival 
browsers you'd set as the default on Windows 7 or 8.1 to Microsoft Edge.

The lacklustre performance could be due to the browser's unfinished 
functionality.
...

Windows 10, which unites the Microsoft ecosystem across a host of devices 
including smartphones, tablet and desktops PC, first rolled out back in 
July.

The Microsoft OS saw huge adoption within the first few hours of its 
release – but the new operating system has not been without issues.

Users have reported agonisingly slow boot-up speeds, wifi issues, privacy 
concerns and problems with child safety features following the jump to 
Windows 10.
