The new Browser Edge της Microsoft χρησιμοποιεί τον κινητήρα του Chromium, τον ίδιο που χρησιμοποιεί και ο Google Chrome. Αυτό δίνει στην εταιρεία την ευκαιρία να συγκρίνει την εφαρμογή της με άλλες alternatives solutions.
The company appears to be starting to push much harder for Microsoft Edge adoption after it started showing ads on the Start menu every time someone types the name of an alternate browser.
Microsoft calls these ads "suggestions" and you will see the Microsoft Edge entry when you type "Chrome" into Windows Search. The new Edge appears as a "suggested" application.
As it turns out, however, this ad only targets a limited number of devices and depends on whether the new Edge is not installed on the device. In this case, Windows users see a download link to get the new browser.
Microsoft Edge is based on Chromium and is the new default browser in Windows 10, as it replaces the old version once installed on your device.
The change of base to Chromium allowed Microsoft to have a new browser on all Windows, (10, 7, 8, 8.1, and macOS. The version for Linux according to the company is in the works. Of course everything indicates that this time Microsoft's browser can compete with competitors' applications thanks to Chromium, an opoen source software.
This is certainly not the first time Microsoft has tried to get us to adopt its own browser using the same tactics.
In Windows 10, a similar "suggestion" appears on the Default Applications screen in Settings when you try to replace Microsoft Edge with a different application such as Google Chrome or Firefox.
