Microsoft has started showing “The new browser recommended by Microsoft is here” ad banner on Edge Add-ons Store in Google Chrome and other non-Microsoft web browsers.
It’s obvious for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera to show download browser banner to get extensions from respective stores.
For instance, when you visit Chrome Web Store in a non-Chromium browser, which, doesn’t support installing extensions, it shows a dialog on top saying ” You will need Google Chrome to install most apps, extensions and themes” with an option to download the Chrome browser.
When you visit add-ons for Firefox site in Chrome, the store may show a similar message.
We notice today that, Microsoft Edge add-ons Store when visited in Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers, shows a banner on top to download new edge with a message “Get speed, performance, and compatibility with the new Microsoft Edge”.
You can close the banner by clicking on the “No thanks” button.
When you navigate to Microsoft Edge add-ons site in the new Edge browser itself, it shows the Bing wallpaper Windows app advertisement.
