Touch experience is quite choppy compared to the old Edge
When comparing both browsers side by side it is very clear that Chromium Edge is not really usuable on a touch device.

kitron Thank you for the feedback. Touch is very important to Microsoft, and is one of the areas where we are working to not only improve Edge, but all Chromium based browsers.

Elliot Kirk Just installed Chromium Edge Dev on my old SP3, running Insider Slow Track, which I largely use in portrait tablet mode. It is pretty much impossible to touch the address bar and get the address highlighted - it either opens or closes tabs above the bar or opens the bookmark below the bar where I'm touching. Not really usable for me atm.
Cheers,
Tony.
