They are throwing unnecessary blockades (the article mentions 4 popups/warnings that Edge is just as good as Chrome).

    I just went and downloaded chrome from Edge. Nothing got in my way. There was a notification in the corner suggesting I use edge, and then a banner at the top of the page after I downloaded it, but literally nothing got in my way.

    Sure, it's mildly annoying, but nothing got in my way or prevented me from getting Chrome.

    And downloading firefox gave zero notifications or banners, it was just normal. Same with Safari.

    I really don't see what is preventing me from using other browsers here.
