Something is off there... those look like mock-ups, not real UI. Also, I just tried on my Windows 11 machine, running the latest Edge and all I see is a pop-up (not injected into the HTML of the page, but separate from the browser window), just like in the past.
It's possible they got some PM's "smart idea" that no one will ever greenlight. Or it's possible they're on some pre-release / insider builds where MS is testing / experimenting with it.
Either way, I'll reserve my outrage for when I see this in a released version.
- crazygringo 4y agoNothing about it looks like a mock-up to me, and the author is clear they were running real software. Can you point to what specific part of the interface doesn't appeal real? Also, the author clearly states it "might be a thing Microsoft tries on a limited set of Edge insiders or only in specific regions".
- gigel82 4y agoThe UI controls don't look like that in Windows 11 (even on the white theme), and also who actually installs the Bing add-on? (or are they saying that Bing icon thing should now be in Edge as well?). Again, it's possible they're signed up for insider builds (or dogfooding, or otherwise obtained some branch build of Windows); but with all the latest updates applied to my Windows 11 OS (and Edge) I see nothing like this (so no repro).
- ezrast 4y agoThe article states that the ad is in Edge Canary and not stable builds.
- someNameIG 4y agoDoesn't seem to be in the dev build (at least on macOS) either.
