For example, when you visit Google News in Microsoft Edge, you'll see a message saying Google recommends Chrome, encouraging you to 'try a fast, secure browser with updates built in.' But, when you do so, Microsoft will warn you that extensions from the Chrome Web Store 'are unverified and may affect browser performance.' After you agree to that, Google will warn you that it ' recommends switching to Chrome to use extensions securely.'Įven though Edge is based on the same underlying code as Google Chrome, many Google websites will still show popups recommending you switch to Chrome. For example, you can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store in the new Edge.
