Microsoft is showing a full-screen message, asking users to set Edge as default browser
That is why in the past few months, Microsoft has been extremely active in promoting Edge on many different operating system platforms. The company Redmond even received a lot of criticism for displaying large banner ads on rival Chrome's download website, reminding users that Edge now also runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added "trust of Microsoft".
But that is still not enough for Microsoft's ambitions. The company is taking it one step further in its efforts to attract more customers to Edge. Recently, a series of Bing Chat users on Edge browser (both mobile and desktop) reported that they were suddenly greeted with a full-screen notification page, with content inviting to discover new things in the game. Edge browser. As can be seen in the screenshot below, this message takes up almost the entire title bar of the browser, so you cannot close it the traditional way (press the "x" button on the title bar). This is also what makes many people feel uncomfortable.
On this notice page, you can access a secondary page by clicking the "Get Started" button below the text "Let's get you setup for the best browsing experience". And strangely, this is another full-screen ad that encourages users to set Microsoft Edge as the default browser on the system.
The good news is that you can skip the "Use Microsoft recommended browser settings" option instead of being forced to follow Microsoft's recommendations. However, this move could still be a sign that the Redmond company will push to display these full-screen ads on Edge browser, at least until users accept to set Edge as their browser. default.
