Microsoft released a new full-screen ad requiring users to set Edge as the default browser

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens Wu Yanzu in South China for the delivery of clues! CTOnews.com March 12, we know that Microsoft has spared no effort in promoting Edge browsers. CTOnews.com has previously reported that the company has even displayed banner ads on Chrome download sites reminding users that Edge and Chrome are using the same technology, but Edge has "Microsoft's extra trust." Now, Microsoft has further launched new ways to attract more Edge users.

According to Neowin, when the site's editor opened Edge to chat with Bing, he suddenly saw a full-screen page saying there was something new to explore in Edge. As shown in the following picture, it occupies the browser's title bar, so you can't close the window in the traditional way (press the "x" button on the title bar):

If you click the start button, a second page appears, which is another full-screen advertisement that asks the user to set Microsoft Edge as the default browser:

Fortunately, this time you can uncheck "use Microsoft's recommended browser settings" instead of being forced to accept Microsoft's advice. After the editor unchecked the switch and pressed the "confirm and continue" button, he knew that this was because the browser had been updated, which indicated that Microsoft would also display these full-screen ads after the browser update, not just when it was first installed or launched (OOBE):

Microsoft has gone to great lengths to convince us to set Edge as the default browser.
