Microsoft Is Now Literally Begging You To Ditch Google Chrome

Would you leave Chrome for Microsoft Edge (or Safari)?

Microsoft’s Edge browser asks a user not to download another web browser.

So, Chrome took over quickly.

  • They said it was safer.
  • They said it was faster.
  • They said it was better.

But is it really?

Let’s be real. Internet Explorer didn’t exactly make it hard for Chrome to take the market. Most people downloaded Chrome because Internet Explorer took about 7 months and 5 minutes to finally open up.

And in the few cases Internet Explorer actually opened up, the nostalgic spinning wheel of death would mock you like a cricket hidden somewhere in your bedroom closet.

But Microsoft’s all-new and improved Edge browser is here and wants you back like a sore ex who tore up your breakup letter.

Microsoft’s desperation is just next level

Open Bing.

Enter Download Chrome.

You’ll be greeted by the banner of corporate desperation.
