Microsoft to ‘warn’ Windows 10 users not to install Chrome or Firefox

While the prompts can be turned off, they’re yet another example of Microsoft infesting Windows 10 with annoying ads and pop-ups.

It’s not clear why Microsoft thinks it’s a good idea to include these irritating prompts, as all they’re likely to do is anger Windows 10 users rather than convince them to switch to Edge.

Microsoft has begun a new tactic to get people to use Edge: a warning dialog box that interrupts the installation of other web browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.

It's not clear exactly what Microsoft's plans for its Edge promotion and warning to steer clear of other browsers.
