Microsoft is trying a new way to stop users from downloading Google Chrome. If you open the Chrome download page in Microsoft Edge, you may see a new banner at the top. This version looks different from the usual prompts that ask users to stay with Edge.
I’m curious, what if I download Firefox from Edge? 🤔

Yes. It is very little, very late.
But it was a huge quality of life relief to me, when I still had a Windows install to deal with.
Winget is still playing catch-up in my experience. Microsoft’s own office365 winget package is broken constantly.
