It would be nice to have more accurate tracking protection. I can't download extensions on my school laptop, so I rely completely on Microsoft's tracking protection, and I've noticed in the edge task manager that some trackers are running in the background.
Also, in Firefox, there are 'containers' that tabs run in that keep things you do in them separate from your other activity. Facebook is run in one and it keeps all trackers from Facebook from tracking your normal activity. I would like Edge to have something similar, so that Facebook and Google will be unable to track your activity without you actively using their service.

@HotCakeX They are blocking downloads, and as of right now, I can't sync extensions.
I didn't know there was a strict mode, thanks for pointing that out, but I still see 3d party processes running(the subframes)

This portion of your post sort of fell by the wayside...

This is BY FAR one of the most valuable aspects of using Firefox. For the reasons you mention, plus I can be logged into my Outlook account (for example) and also be logged in and doing maintenance on the account of another family member simply by opening their account in another tab container. Same browser, two tabs, two separate accounts. I use it to keep Amazon, YouTube, my bank, etc. walled off in their own silo that the cannot see out of, and no other tab can see into for info, cookies, etc.
