Microsoft Edge now shows a security-focused banner on Google Chrome’s download page. It highlights built-in safety features and links to Microsoft’s Online Safety page.

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? 🤔

    It’s working because Edge isn’t IE and it’s actually a decent browser. It’s just Microsoft chromium instead of Google chromium.

      Yeah, but chrome/chromium is relegated to trash-tier now, due to the introduction of manifest v3 and the blacklisting of uBlock Origin.
