Microsoft is dissuading users from installing Google Chrome

Microsoft which is known for products like Microsoft teams has been showing in-browser notifications in Microsoft Edge. They dissuade users from installing Google Chrome by criticizing the famous browser. 

As browser developers continue to compete, therefore it is not unusual for either of them to try to dissuade users from installing rival browsers. 

When Firefox was installed or configured as the default browser, Windows 10 began to display notifications in the Start Menu advising users to change to Edge. 

Within a few weeks, Google advised Edge users to change to Google Chrome in order to use addons extra safely. 

After one year, Microsoft Edge is showing in-browser alerts criticizing Chrome whenever a user is trying to install it. 

According to a news site, when using Edge to access the Chrome Browser download page, users will see an in-browser alert to persuade them not to make the switch. 

Microsoft Edge in-browser alerts

The majority of these in-browser alerts criticize Chrome, implying that Microsoft Edge is a much more reliable browser. It presents that Google Chrome is outdated, dull, extremely slow and far less credible. Moreover, Microsoft Edge can save you money. 

These alerts are saved in a folder and include 5 separate messages. 

IT Consultants could only activate two alerts in their tests. Nevertheless, the program contains all 5 alerts. 

Moreover, users are understandably irritated by Microsoft’s dig at Chrome. It is important to keep in mind that Chrome engages in similar behavior, not as directly as Edge. 

Because Edge and Chrome both are based on the Chromium browser, their efficiency and reliability are basically equivalent. 

As a result, when users install the latest version of Windows, they no longer have to shift to Chrome Browser to get excellent performance. 

This will most likely reduce Chrome’s market dominance, and therefore we should anticipate more mudslinging between both companies.
