Make sure to disable startup boost btw.
They haven't improved Edge in regards to touch and tablet so it's wishful thinking that you'll get them to move fast with Android Edge or Extension Button/Hub improvements. MS has never been known for being agile and good with rapid development - that's why they are losing marketshare.

The global all-platform (desktop/mobile/tablet) market share has remained more or less static over the last year. Edge has gained market share (0.13% to 3.45%) as Edge Legacy (2.19% to 0.31%) and IE (1.63% to 0.81%) have been deprecated, but the combined Microsoft browser share has not materially changed (3.95% to 4.50%). It is a bit early to gauge market share trends for Edge.
Chromebooks gained significant market share at the expense of Windows PC's during 2020, but that seems to be driven by distance learning demand during the COVID pandemic. Chromebooks have dominated the education market for several years and the pandemic increased demand in that market significantly during the past year.
