I actually only recently switched to Edge and have been enjoying it. Google is not totally innocent in this battle either. At least once a week if not more often when I am in my Gmail, on my Google Calendar, or on the Google search pages I get a little banner in the top right just like the Edge one seen in this article telling me I'd get a better experience if I switched to Chrome and have a similar download style button. And with how prevalent Google's webpages are the majority of the web users will see these adverts if they aren't using Chrome. So I'd argue that Google is not really much better than Microsoft in this regard. I guess the difference is that Microsoft has an additional avenue to advertise since they control more of the software stack. The things I have more of a problem with are the dark behaviours for things like changing my default browser. I noticed when I originally would install Google Chrome and it asks if I want to make it my default, the process to do so is more complicated. Chrome can only pop up Windows default application chooser settings dialogue and then you have to manually switch the default browser in there. Microsoft will give multiple messages you have to go through before it sets it as default. Whereas when I recently switched back to Edge they had the same banner asking if I wanted to make Edge default, except when I clicked "yes", that was all. Microsoft was able to directly make that change without having me go through the weird process of switching defaults. When one company gives themselves artificial advantages over their competitors like this that is when things start to get weird for me. For now I am going to stick with Edge for a bit, but if they continue to do things like implementing "buy now pay later" schemes I'll probably go back to Chrome.
