I used to be an MS basher, and for good reasons. Then I started learning SAP. I've since learned to shut up and count my blessings.

well it's true, the last ie was finally a completely normal working product, people could create pages that didn't have special handling just for ie11. Not that I used it, (except on some customer servers that I insisted they keep 100% vanilla except for their business apps).
ie had lost me as a customer long ago - even free it was still to expensive - first thing removed from my own pc's after downloading ff. (Sorry, no chrome - way too resource sucky on lite boxes.)

Did you mean "providing diagnostic output that in no way provides even the slightest connection to the problem"?

So, I take it that you have to choose between CP and Edge.
So - what. exactly, is the question?

Go to another PC. Download FireFox. Copy to PC. Install.
(Forget Chrome - Mr. Google knows too much, already)

I put Mr. Google through paroxysms of agony by using Bing as the default search engine in Chrome. (Closest thing we have to an evil smiley)

'bing' the sound that comes out when you tap on chrome.

Microsoft doesn't do well naming its browsers.
People don't usually want to live on the Edge, i.e. you should be using Chrome!

I'd disagree with that to an extent: Visual Studio and Excel are truly wonderful. SQL Server is pretty damn good (but VS and MSSQL don't meet your revised category).
Win 7 - a consumer product if ever there was one - was very good, The Halo series was well worth a go on XBox, Flight Sim, Kinect ...
I think it's just when they forget to decide where to go and what to do that they lose sight of what users actually want. And then they produce total cr@p.

that's why I revised, agree their developer apps are OK.
Win 7 was dev and consumer friendly, ... they took a huge part of the dev friendly away 8 onwards - to heavily focusing it [badly] at the consumer.
Even though stuff works, 10 really only got worse for devs.
Same was true for xp: dev and consumer friendly - which is why it still lasts.
2k was too broken - spent as much time fixing [reinstalling] the os as debugging apps,
vista was sh*t bolted on the 50% of the 2k inner core that was not fixed due to a rush to market,
luckily they completed the re-core and cleaned up integration to interface/devices in 7.

this
is
a

of
the

box
Nope, seems to work fine with Edge...
And it is my default browser...
Tabbing did cause the cursor to disappear, probably went to a different control ("Click to edit signature"). A click back in the edit box restored it...

Permeate?
Developer "Perme" (though I'd want an "i" in there)
Consumes "Ate"

Developer = CODER

Filter = Colander (an essential for every kitchen and the most fashionable headgear around).
