If you’re one of the billion-plus users of Google Chrome on Windows, then you have just been warned that what might look like malware hijacking your browser is not what it seems...the desktop browser market, which means it’s the default for a billion-plus Windows users—almost all of whom also default to Google for their search.
Despite that assurance, online comments suggest this Bing promotion echoes the persistence of the Edge push that hit the headlines last month, and which included an “error” on Microsoft’s part—since fixed, where Edge was copying across Chrome settings without user permission.The issue of course is that Microsoft banners and popups for those running Windows come across as OS notifications, not just marketing.
As we saw with the Edge promotion last month, it does seem that Microsoft has Chrome more in its sights than other browsers. Oneuser responded to the ongoing furore by pointing out “I'm using the Brave browser with DuckDuckGo as my search engine. I haven't seen any pop-ups for Bing.” Microsoft claims it needs to wrap up deals across the generative AI landscape to compete with Google, which has far greater capacity to run an integrated AI stack.
