Microsoft’s persistent efforts to steer users away from downloading Google Chrome and encourage the use of its Edge browser have been a subject of discussion and even frustration for many users. This information could potentially be used to improve Edge or to create targeted marketing campaigns. The poll that appears when users attempt to download Chrome is a way for Microsoft to gather feedback about why people prefer Chrome over Edge. Browser wars have been ongoing for years, with different companies vying for a larger share of the browser market.
Microsoft’s campaign to discourage users from downloading Google Chrome and to promote its own Edge browser is a common practice in the tech industry.
