#3won't be really hard to improve the market share:
- make edge cross platform.
- make the extensions system on par with chromes and as easy to launch an extension
- fix its UI lag on Windows 10
- maybe open source it

Slow how to me it still loads any website the fastest. The biggest complain about chrome is that it is bloated specially if you use more than few tabs. But I don't see google working on fixing or improving that much simply because using more than a few tabs is an edge case which probably less than 1% of the users use.

Agreed. I don't understand why there are still memes against Internet Explorer floating around. Edge is not the problem.

Remove ads & featured junk? Make Google a more prominent default search engine?

I don't think adding OSX or Linux users will fix the problem. Nor will open or closed source.

Using basic functionality of a browser (opening multiple tabs at a time) is an edge case? Every person I know that uses Chrome has at least 5-10 tabs open at a time. I wouldn't call it an edge case, but I would guess that the minority uses less than 3-4 tabs at a time.

As a web developer I'd rather develop for Chrome than IE/Edge. It's pretty much just that simple.
