Microsoft's new Edge and Google Chrome are very similar browsers as they are both built on the same platform Chromium.
Microsoft after the change it made and moved from its own browser platform to Chromium, the new Edge has significantly increased its presence. So it seems that the metrics make him a "dangerous" opponent and so Google increased thealerts and the scary messages to those running Edge.
The story is not particularly new. In the past, Google presented Edge users with a warning when they opened its services, such as Google Teams, Gmail, Google Docs, and YouTube Music.
Google services can easily figure out which browser you are using to visit their pages, so depending on what they find, they are doing the right thing. So if you are with the new Edge and go to the Chrome Web Store to find extensions that are now compatible with Edge due to the common Chromium platform, you will see a nice security alert.
You will see that "recommends" you leave Edge and go to Chrome to use the extensions safely. And so you do not have to search for a link to download Google Chrome.
So far so good. Her own Web Store and recommendation. But it is deliberately targeted at Edge, as Google does not show this recommendation in other Chromium browsers, such as Opera and Brave.
Google Alert does not actually affect Edge's ability to use and run Chrome extensions securely. You can install the extensions as usual, but click on that security warnings could scare off novice users and drive them away from the Edge.
Last year, Google said it was not blocking the Microsoft Edge, but rather a simple diplomatic statement, like the policy ones. In recent years, the browsers battles have become more complicated as no one wants to share the market.
In the past, the makers of Vivaldi, which he also works with base Chromium, also complained about "bugs" caused by Google that broke the browser.
