I don’t see anyone falling for this either, if they were going to they would already have edge installed.

    Plenty of people will fall for that, my mother rarely uses her laptop, so I installed Firefox for her. She got a notification telling her to switch to Edge, so she did. At least she told me so I could switch it back

      Yeah good point. I’d recommend uninstalling edge using Aveyo’s edge uninstaller, it won’t annoy you anymore.

    What is this from? It looks like a large version of the app selector on Android.

    Is this the choice pop-up they are now legally required to buy new EU laws? There’s also a “remember” toggle. Isn’t this a positive thing to exist?

      No, one of the two options there is “default browser” meaning the user likely already has a non-edge default browser set up. This is clearly Microsoft trying to trick users into using Edge even when they’ve chosen not to.
