Microsoft’s recent update for Edge automatically starts the browser and prompts users to import Chrome data, raising concerns about user consent and transparency.
The pop-up prompt to enhance browsing experience comes with an option ticked by default to import data, which could trick unwary users into confirming.
This behavior follows a pattern since 2020 when Microsoft began using various methods to encourage users to switch from Chrome to Edge without full transparency.
A Microsoft spokesperson stated this notification gives users a choice, although the design suggests a push towards importing Chrome data rather than genuine user choice.
