Microsoft has done everything it can in the past to convert as many users as possible from its own platform, Windows, to using the Edge browser. As you know, this is the only browser that comes pre-installed when you install Windows, so if you want to use Google Chrome or Firefox, you must first download them through Edge.
So far, Microsoft has indicated with banners within Edge that there’s no need to download a new browser, its own browser is just as adequate and even better than the one you’re about to download — however, from now on, anyone looking for a different browser will have to face a questionnaire Waiting for download.
as Newen Now when you try to download a browser, a sidebar opens within Edge asking Microsoft to explain why you don’t want to use their app, the team discovered. The user can choose from options such as:
- I can’t find my favorites or passwords here.
- Too many ads and pop-ups.
- I don’t like the bottom line.
- very slow.
- My sites aren’t working on Microsoft Edge.
It is important to note that filling out the questionnaire is not mandatory to start the download, but its presence is clearly worrying – many believe that Microsoft is starting to cross a certain line.
