The fact that it does it at all is the issue. Someone wrote code that literally is watching for users trying to download another browser.
You usually download a browser just once, so turning if off isn't the issue. I suspect some of less technically inclined might abide by it and not download the new broswer.
It almost seems like trial run for stopping the download. I can imagine "clippy" popping up an saying "I see your trying to download a browser, I'm sorry, I can't allow that"
- withinboredom 3y agoThe code itself likely comes from Google, not Microsoft. You can open Chrome and go download Edge/FF, IIRC, it only shows if chrome is the default browser. At least it used to a couple of years ago. Gmail still nags me about not using Chrome. I don't see the issue here.
