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.

Am I victim of the Mandela effect or did this happen some years ago too? I remember setting up chrome on win10 in my tech-normie days and getting a similar thing, maybe my memory is failing me.

They've been doing it for years, but in slightly different ways. Chances are you remember one of their numerous pathetic attempts to prevent switching from their spyware.

Completely legal and definitely not abusing one monopoly to push for another

I use Opera because it uses less memory on my tiny $175 laptop.

Honestly Edge might be better at this point but it really doesn't matter. Google won the browser war years ago and people have too much inertia to care

Edge was good at launch, it's still okay but it's kind of a bloated mess now
