Microsoft’s campaigns to try to get Windows users to opt for its services and applications are well known. One of the main targets of these actions is Google’s Chrome, given its importance. This browser is now at the center of a new action, which wants everyone to end up using Edge and not Chrome.
There are many actions that Microsoft has already taken to ensure that Edge is the default browser on Windows. The company has already changed the settings to make them more complicated and impossible to change, as well as launching campaigns to try to convince users to switch from Chrome to its proposal.
The software giant is now back on the attack and has a new campaign underway to seek change in this field. New pop-ups are being shown to those who use Chrome on Windows and want them to simply abandon the Google browser and embrace the proposal that comes from Windows.
Interestingly, there is something that is not very logical and common that stands out in this new pop-up from Microsoft. As described by some users, this is very similar to what some malware uses to present advertisements to users, trying to deceive them.
Microsoft has already reacted to this news and to user comments about its arrival. He revealed that this notification aims to alert people to the qualities of Edge and that users can simply reject its presentation and even change browsers.
Anyone who accepts this new option that the pop-up presents ends up seeing the settings changed and Edge quickly becomes the default browser. As expected, users are not satisfied with this action by Microsoft and they have already shown it.
Of course, everyone knows that this is not the first attempt that Microsoft has made to promote Edge. Their actions have been very varied and even very intelligent. One of the most recent led this browser to import Chrome tabs without users' authorization.
