Edge is pretty good...

...for downloading Firefox.

I wouldn't even use a proprietary browser if they'd pay me for it. Let alone a chromium based one.

You don't even need a browser

winget install Mozilla.Firefox

Who needs to sudo apt install firefox when it already comes preinstalled on most distros?

True, I missed that winget is now preinstalled with newer windows versions. I don't use windows a lot though, especially not for browsing the web.
