Microsoft Edge Pushes an "All in One Browser" Message on Chrome’s Download Page (windowsreport.com)

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? 🤔

Apart from being chromium, Edge was pretty good until it released, then it had all the Microsoft bullshit added.

Microsoft was probably the only firm with the resources to keep a Chromium fork current while uneinding Google's enshittifications. But their incentives are too similar for that.
