Edge is also the default browser for (the by-now discontinued operating system) Windows 10 Mobile. Internet Explorer 11 will remain available alongside Edge on Windows 10 for compatibility purposes. It replaced Internet Explorer as the default browser on Windows 10. It was first released for Windows 10 and Xbox One in 2015, for Android, Chrome OS and iOS in 2017, then macOS in 2019, and has also been made available for older Windows versions back to Windows 7.
Proprietary software a component of Windows 10 Microsoft also forcibly installed its new Edge on Windows last year, with a full-page pop-up that angered many. One of the most recent examples came with Windows 11, which sends users far out of their way to change the default browser by implementing default browsers for every imaginable action rather than a one-stop setting. This is just the latest in a series of moves Microsoft has made to push its Edge browser over Google Chrome and other alternatives. Microsoft Edge is the best browser for online shopping. That browser is so 2008! Do you know what’s new? Microsoft Edge. Google, notably, has also put up messages in Chrome to avoid losing users to Edge.Īs Neowin points out, there are other versions of the same message, too. The pop-up clearly attacks Google’s privacy and data policies, which have been a point of scrutiny by some over the past few years.
Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft. As spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft Edge, the default browser provided with Windows 10 and Windows 11, now triggers a pop-up trying to keep users on the Edge browser instead of jumping on board with Google. Microsoft’s latest attempt to push people away from Chrome is pretty passive aggressive. Microsoft Edge was rebuilt using the same base as Chrome last year, and it’s really good, but Microsoft is yet again aggressively trying to stop users from downloading Google Chrome on Windows.
Google Chrome is the most popular browser in the world, and that pushes Microsoft and others to go to great lengths to make a dent in the market.
