A few days ago, I switched over to using the Microsoft Edge browser since it had a few nifty features that I really liked — like the sidebar tools, the ability to “sleep” unused tabs, the Bing search integration with chat (I was testing it out) and so on …

I was happy with things till yesterday when I started noticing subtle issues:

1. Text copied from Edge and pasted into an edit box in macOS behaved strangely. This was rather weird because I’d try to delete (rather than backspace) using the “fn” key and it would go in the opposite direction for some text. Perhaps some leftover invisible encoding?

2. Sometimes you couldn’t click on elements around the edge of the browser window. This one was again weird because the issue would go away if you restarted the browser but over time would re-appear.

I finally had enough of it and switched back to Firefox today 😛

But …. After so many years of using Google as my default search engine, I switched to Bing since I like the Bing results better and I do want to keep testing the Bing Chat feature …
