Google, yes. But Microsoft? I haven't noticed, and I'm on Office 365 all day (my client uses that) while running Firefox / Linux.
Microsoft does keep asking me to use Edge on my Windows gaming machine, although it's the only browser I have installed...
But I guess the point is... where is Mozilla going to ask people to use Firefox?
- Phemist 5y agoBut Microsoft? I haven't noticed > Try installing firefox (or even chrome) on a clean install of an updated windows 10.
- vladvasiliu 5y agoBut that's a Windows thing, as opposed to "on the web", right? And as I've said, Windows bugs me about edge even though I've never installed anything else — the "use the recommended edge something or other". Whereas Google bugs me on all my machines (Mac / Linux / Windows, all without Chrome). My point was that using Firefox on Linux, I've never seen anything related to edge on MS sites (but I only use Office 365, Azure and, sometimes, the docs site).
- judge2020 5y agoYes, I guess they mean Edge since the new Microsoft Edge uses chromium as their base browser. MS must have gotten tired of paying a huge team of devs to constantly fix and implement new web stuff in EdgeHTML/Chakra.
- vladvasiliu 5y agoIt's actually the new, Chromium-based Edge. I've actually updated it when it asked, and the current Windows install came with it (installed it fresh around November 2020). But with every Windows 10 version change, it asks me to use the "recommended browser settings", whatever those are. This is a computer on which my most used browser is the Steam thing. I really don't care either way what it is, so I don't bother installing a specific one.
