They DESPERATELY want you to use Edge because they DESPERATELY want to watch what websites you visit, for how long, and what you click on. They want to know EVERYTHING about you:
What you buy, what you masturbate to, what you like and don’t like, how you vote, what you watch, what music you like, the clothes you wear, what you children are like, what movies you watch, who you know… THEY WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU SO THEY CAN USE IT AGAINST YOU: ADS. PROPAGANDA. VOTES. CONTROL.
WE ARE BEING FARMED
Always have been... but Google is just as bad, so installing Chrome isn't going to help you there. Honestly, even FF or anything else on Windows wont even get you out of that fate. They've proven they take screen shots, likely log keypresses, etc.
This isn't new or even newsworthy anymore. Being okay with these sorts of things is like, literally part of EULA's and such for decades. And people willingly give up privacy in trade for whatever service or product they're choosing.
They can do a lot of that now with Recall even if you use Chrome.
They also want you to use their browser because they want to direct you to bing/copilot and get ad revenue from all of your clicks.
