If I was Microsoft, I'd wanna know too. After all, it's a race for every single one of our data points, and then some.

Either way, you gotta admit it's ironically funny that Microsoft wants to keep/poach Chrome users into their own... wait for it... Chromium-based browser.

Linux equivalent: Imagine if AppImageD pops up asking for your opinion and feedback on AppImages whenever you visit Flathub or Snapcraft.

I think I am okay with this popup, I mean they are asking whats wrong with their product. They arent trying to break something in Chrome or like that.

If Edge stops forcing everyone with their "new and improved AI powered..." stuff, it is better than Chrome.

I don't get why everyone is appalled by this. They're just quantifying user feedback. Long as they don't stop you from downloading chrome, and the feedback is optional, I don't see the harm

Edge > Chrome. I use it at work. Much better.

What happens when you try to download Firefox?

I think one huge issue is that edge is fine, it is a browser that works. There is nothing competitively interesting about it to make people consider switching, plus there is the infamy of IE and Micro$oft's reputation to contend with.

They should just develop a lightweight browser installer and bow out of the browser wars.

I.e. Microsoft is looking to build an antitrust suit against Google.

I wouldn't turn this into a Firefox vs chrome(ium) fight,but why would anyone use a reskinned chrome(edge) over the original one? Not being sarcastic, I'm genuinely curious.

But edge is much better than chrome, was the only browser I could keep open while emulating switch games. If you are going to use a chromium fork instead of Firefox, at least use edge.
