Microsoft Edge in the results even if you are looking for Firefox

Microsoft continues to try to convince Windows 10 users to use only the Microsoft Edge.

A user of the reddit recently revealed that Microsoft is trying to steer Windows users to its Browser even if they search Firefox with Windows 10's built-in search feature.

As you can see in the image below, searching for Firefox on a Windows 10 PC shows Microsoft Edge as the first result, while Firefox, which application that exactly matches the search keyword, appears 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 institution's browser for years Mozilla. Να αναφέρουμε ότι για αυτούς ειδικά τους χρήστες οι συγκεκριμένες τακτικές της Microsoft δεν θα είναι και τόσο αποτελεσματικές όσο ευελπιστεί η εταιρεία.

However, statistics show that Microsoft Edge has a market share just above 4%, while Google Chrome is clearly ahead of a 65%. This means that the majority of Windows 10 users are not using Edge and that Google Chrome and Firefox are the preferred alternatives.
