I liked Firefox until about 2 years ago when I started getting popups every time I clicked on any link. Had to uninstall it. I never liked IE. I do like that Chrome syncs across all my devices. For example I could stop writing this post and then finish it on my phone, another computer or a tablet
I upgraded a laptop that is at least 4 years old and the hardware handle everything jut fine. I also use Chrome exclusively and have had zero issues. In fact, it feels quicker than when I was running Windows 7. I did disable Cortana because I don't see it being useful on my laptop. I also adjusted some of the privacy settings and re-linked some file associations. I just imported my bookmarks to Edge and plan to give it a good run for a week or so to see how it handle things.
Windows 10 is spying on almost everything you do – here’s how to opt out https://bgr.com/2015/07/31/windows-10-upgrade-spying-how-to-opt-out/
I also read that there are some security issues with W10 too though. "Lifting" passwords, etc. Don't be in a rush to be the guinea pig.
