You can, but they beat you over the head about it. "Did You Know Edge Uses The Same Technology as Chrome?" "You need to switch out of S mode to use Chrome. Be careful, you can never use S mode again!"

It's essentially the same setup as when you try to cancel cable and they have 10 hoops to jump through.
Just switch to Chrome and let it be set as your default.

I work for an enormous company that has a very tight partnership with Microsoft, and yet our default browser on all corporate images is Chrome.

Bought a new laptop as my old Chromebook was running pretty slow. I decided to go with a Windows machine, and I immediately regretted that trying to navigate the weirdly confusing Windows. I was even going to be ok with using Edge instead of Chrome, until nothing worked, and the instructions made no sense. I can only imagine the amount of time and money and employees contributing to trying to get people to use Edge. Maybe they need more English majors on the team.
If youre talking about the start menu that Windows 10 gives you you can download a free program called "open shell" that will allow you to go to a windows classic start menu

Ive been using it for years and it works great

I did. But I was willing to give Edge a chance! Let it be known.

Chrome randomly crashes on me, for no apparent reason. Supposedly this was an issue with Chrome a year ago and was fixed, and I'm up to date on current patches, and it still keeps happening. 

Pisses me the eff off.

you might try restarting your modem

Chrome uses the ever loving hell out of your RAM, which is not ideal.

My understanding from various sources is that this wont be a cake walk for the ruskies

Russia will probably prevail but Ukraine will fight like hell

this will get ugly with a lot of causalities

Ukraine can drag it out if they have the will to do so. Holding that much territory will be difficult and costly for the Russian invasion force.
