Searching for the word "browser" in Bing is also not recommended.
Although the standard Windows browser has long stopped being just a tool to download normal browsers, Microsoft continues to choose rather odd methods to promote it. With the release of Windows 11, significantly complicated the procedure for changing the default browser, followed by Microsoft forbidden to change the browser for use in the quick search bar. Now Edge has started to discourage users from downloading Chrome.
Here are the message options that saw users by opening the Google Chrome download page in the Edge browser:
- “This browser is like from 2008! Do you know what's really new? Microsoft Edge ".
- "Microsoft Edge uses the same technology as Chrome, but you can rely on Microsoft to do so."
- “'I hate saving money,” no one said ever. Microsoft Edge is the best browser for online shopping. "
What's more, in response to Bing searches for “browser” or “download browser”, users also receive Edge ads. One of the posts states, “You are already using Microsoft Edge. Keep using it for top-notch performance with enhanced security and productivity. ”
When you search for “download browser,” the ad unit will indicate that you don't need to download anything: it's best to try Microsoft Edge, which is already installed.
