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

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?
Absolutely. But MS chose to go the evil route again and ask right when you want to open a link. In that situation users want to open a link and not choose browsers so they are more likely to click on edge. It is deliberately annoying which is what op is angry about
Also the EU doesn't require it to be a pop-up, you just have to use the users set default afaik.
