Microsoft is trying a new way to stop users from downloading Google Chrome. If you open the Chrome download page in Microsoft Edge, you may see a new banner at the top. This version looks different from the usual prompts that ask users to stay with Edge. I’m curious, what if I download Firefox from Edge? 🤔

I had chances to peek into some of my friends’ laptop and was surprised how many of them are using Edge. MS’s strategy looks pretty stupid, but it’s actually working.

As far as chromium based browsers go, edge is actually one of the best. I have a portable degoogled chromium I keep locked in a vault myself, but that’s only because I ripped edge out of windows. If I wasn’t the type of person that got irrationally furious about edge running in the background using up system resources doing whatever the fuck windows was having to do, I would just use edge when I needed a chromium browser.
