Edge starting to get blacklisted

Received the following from a major website (mail.com, 1500 on Alexa global rank)... yes Edge is so bad that it's getting blacklisted.

I dont think that its 'black listed' but not supported by the website - i get this occassionally. Most recently i was unable to use the Photobox website as it refused to recognise that flash was built-in, so i just switched over to IE11. Not ideal, but things seem to be getting better and I refuse to be forced into using Chrome by a handful of websites.

If that's true, that's really bad!
Edge seems to be ok for me even though I use it as a 2nd browser for development testing and so... Try Google chrome

IE didn't get blocked, why would they block edge? -.-

IE is the de facto browser for legacy uses, I imagine Edge just wasn't on their radar when whitelisting what browsers to give all their functionality too. (like how MS changed IE Mobile's User Agent in WP 8.1 Update 1 to disguise itself as Android or iOS so it gets served better mobile webpages.)
