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? 🤔

    There’s just a lot of thought put in for the user. Excellent UI and productivity features, so much customisability. It’s super fast and light. Then there’s built in blockers, VPN, all the usual. To top it all off, it’s made by a small group of Norwegians that hate corporate control and love an open and free internet. They even have their own fediverse instances.

    After I had spent an hour going down the rabbit hole of tweaking every UI element so the browser was now my browser, I was hooked. I still have to use Firefox at work, but I now find it intrusive, sluggish, and crude. I also hate having to restart it for updates lol.
