Microsoft uses multiple ways to promote Microsoft Edge as the default browser
In the previous article, we mentioned that the current market share of Microsoft browsers is steadily increasing, and the price of a steady increase is that Microsoft continues to harass users to install the browser.
For example, Microsoft uses the Windows 10 update system to force users to receive the update and install the browser. Although it has been criticized by many users, Microsoft does not care too much.
Now the new browser has changed from an optional update to a regular update, which will automatically download and install Chromium Microsoft Edge, and even automatically import other browser data for a seamless connection.
After the increase in installations, Microsoft seems to have begun a new promotion step by using various methods to induce users to set Microsoft browser as the system default browser.
Microsoft is currently using multiple modules of Windows 10 to promote the new browser, but this time it is not for new users but those who have installed the browser.
Judging from the pictures posted by netizens, Microsoft will pop up a so-called suggestion at the top of the Windows 10 search bar, asking users to set the Microsoft browser as the default item.
If you have set the default item, you will not see this so-called suggestion, so users will often see this prompt if they do not set the Microsoft browser as the default.
At the same time, in the beta version, Microsoft will also add browser options to the top of the Settings application. If the default browser is not Microsoft, a red dot will be displayed in the browser options.
When the user clicks on the option to remove the red dot, the browser will be set as the so-called recommended option, that is, the Microsoft browser is set as the default browser.
In addition, if the user chooses other browsers in the default application browser, Microsoft’s suggestion will pop up, and the suggestion is to let the user set the Microsoft Edge browser. Microsoft uses this method to intercept other browser markets.
