This is a bit hypocritical don't you think?
Google has been begging me to use their Chrome browser for many years. I have been a MS Edge user for a long time. I do not know how many annoying pop-ups and nags from the Google-verse. Including YouTube. It is good that Microsoft is doing this as there is absolutely no difference I can find in using the Chrome browser and Microsoft Edge for most people who use browsers to surf the web.
"Google recommends using Chrome"
Nah, that's ok Googster you can keep it. LOL
