Edge started displaying ads in the settings

Microsoft is working hard with Edge to ensure that you have a great web browsing experience.

Edge strives to protect your privacy, block annoying notifications, offer auto-repeat controlsmedia and remove intrusive ads.

Unfortunately, however, Edge is not so immune to "native ads". Many users report seeing ads promoting mobile Edge in the program settings s.

The company started displaying a rather large banner in the profile settings section of Edge. This banner encourages users to try out the new sync features and download the Edge app for using a QR code. There is even an instruction on how to scan the QR code using your smartphone.

It is worth mentioning that Mobile Edge already has a separate promotion section in the desktop browser. Open Settings and switch to phone and other services. There you will find instructions on how to set up Edge on a mobile device.

However, it seems that Microsoft thinks that this is not enough, so it added an additional banner to the Profile page.

This move can be added to Microsoft's recent efforts to promote its services to . Υπάρχουν διαφημίσεις για την υπηρεσία Edge in Search, Bing Search, Start Menu, Desktop και στο Settings UI. Η εταιρεία προωθεί επίσης με διαφημίσεις στις συνδρομές στο Microsoft 365 χρησιμοποιώντας ένα banner στην Εξερεύνηση αρχείων, αλλά και το Outlook για κινητά στο Windows Mail.

It seems that ads in Microsoft Edge have been rolled out gradually. The new banners do not appear on some computers, but they are already there. We see them in the Stable and Dev versions of the browser, but not in the versions from Canary. However, other users report seeing banners in Edge Canary as well.

If you are not satisfied with the new notification in Edge Settings, you can easily turn it off. All you have to do is click the "Dismiss" button.
