[QUOTE="Antus67, post: 858922, member: 83595"] Microsoft has started using the Windows 10 Start Menu to suggest that Mozilla Firefox users switch to their new Microsoft Edge browser. With the release of Microsoft's new Chromium-based Edge browser, Microsoft has started promoting the new browser when typing various keywords in the Windows 10 Start Menu. Based on a [URL='http://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f0psu6/this_must_be_the_most_cringing_suggestion_text_i/']Reddit Post[/URL], Windows 10 is displaying a suggestion to switch to Microsoft Edge when Firefox is installed or configured as the default browser. This promotion comes in the form of a suggestion at the top of the Start Menu that states "Still using Firefox? Microsoft Edge is here". [ATTACH type="full"]233532[/ATTACH] Microsoft should be proud of its new Edge browser as it is faster, more compatible due to Chromium's codebase, and offers a wider range of extensions compared to the Microsoft Edge Legacy browser. At the same time, people are torn about using the Start Menu to promote its product at the expense of another competing product. Furthermore, Microsoft is known for pushing its Edge browser a little bit too hard in the past. For example, in 2016 Microsoft [URL='https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-pesters-users-with-ads-again-this-time-for-edge/']began promoting[/URL] Microsoft Edge and the Bing rewards programs through notifications from the Windows 10 taskbar [/QUOTE]
