I believe I have seen the same behaviour on Android for their apps.
A few days ago on fresh windows install I couldnt watch netflix on ff/edge, but on chrome it worked. Player error.
I guess it was related to some missing drivers?

Well at least Microsoft allows you to install other browsers. Apple only allows skins for their mobile browser.
That is on iOS, on MacOS they allow other browsers and respect the systemwide defaults. Personally I use Linux unless forced to use something else by my employer.
Why is that in any way exonerating? Most people do most of their actual computing on their phones now, it is not an irrelevant toy platform. We should be more, not less, hard on Apple than Microsoft for pulling this shit on their mobile platform.
Glad I uninstalled Windows and use Ubuntu on all my computers
Tried again maybe 4 (?) years ago and have stuck with it - everything is pretty smooth for my purposes now. I do run into some random issues sometimes - like display drivers randomly resetting. That seems to be the biggest one.
Windows is just full of hostile, anti-user patterns these days. I've considered building a windows box just to have a gaming rig multiple times over the last few years, but every time an article like this or their crusade against Chrome reminds me that Bill Gates is still the same anti-trust monster he was in the 90s.
We need a comeback of antitrust enforcement with teeth to get both Microsoft and Google to do honest competition, instead of backhanded methods.

I did this many years ago, ran into a bunch of issues and switched back. Tried again maybe 4 (?) years ago and have stuck with it - everything is pretty smooth for my purposes now.

Is this because not all browsers support stuff equally? A few days ago on fresh windows install I couldnt watch netflix on ff/edge, but on chrome it worked. Player error. I guess it was related to some missing drivers?
What if you've removed Edge from your system?
