Once you set it up it's fine, but on first opening you have to click through a bunch of menus (no, I don't want to share data, no I don't want to sync my account, and so on). In other browsers it's a small popup in the corner which you can ignore, and just google what you wanted to google. In edge they're fullscreen and you have to click no on each one.

Probably a rather unique problem because I regularly set up new machines, most people just go through it once and never see it again.

You hit the nail right on its head! It's pretty bad that there is no skip all option, and for some of them you have to manually uncheck before continuing.

I'm in the same situation as you where I often work on fresh virtual machines, and so I see this a lot too.
