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? 🤔

As much as I dislike Microsoft, I see no reason for Windows users to download Chrome when Edge is right there.

There’s plenty: Not supporting monopolistic practices. User preferences. Diversifying your software so you don’t get trapped in an ecosystem. Not having Copilot stuffed down your throat. User preferences. Making it possible to rip Edge out of Windows for the purpose of debloating.

Not supporting monopolistic practices. The rest of the points are fair but you seriously saying that getting Chrome of all things is not supporting monopolistic practices?
