Another attempt by Microsoft to make Edge the default browser with Bing as the default search engine.
It appears that Microsoft has started showing notifications in Edge 91 about “using recommended browser settings” when the updated browser is first launched on Windows 10.
A small pop-up box titled "Help from Microsoft" appears on the new tab page, stating that you need to use Microsoft Edge with Bing as the default search engine for better "performance, privacy and productivity".
As you can see in the image above, there are two options: Use the recommended browser settings (Microsoft Edge with Bing) and Do not update your browser settings.
If you click on the first option, your taskbar or screen will flash and the default browser will change to Microsoft Edge (with Bing).
This is annoying, of course, but the alert only appears once. In some cases, some report that even if they decline the offer, the browser does not respect their decision and will continue to display notifications after the Edge restarts.

George is still wondering what he is doing here….
