Microsoft continues to try to persuade Windows 10 users to only use Microsoft Edge.
A user of reddit recently revealed that Microsoft is trying to direct Windows users to its own browser even if they are searching for Firefox with the built-in Windows 10 search feature.
As you can see in the image below, Firefox search in one computer with Windows 10 shows Microsoft Edge as the first result, while Firefox, which is the application that perfectly matches the search keyword, comes second.
Microsoft Edge for Microsoft is the "best match," search result.
Of course, users don't like such tactics, and especially those who have been using the Mozilla Foundation browser for years. We should mention that for these users in particular, Microsoft's specific tactics will not be as effective as the company hopes company.
However, statistics show that Microsoft Edge has a share market just over 4%, while o Google Chrome clearly ahead with 65%. This means that the majority of Windows 10 users do not use Edge and that Google Chrome and Firefox are the preferred alternatives.
