Microsoft uses its Defender security suite to promote Edge in a way critics call a 'dark pattern'— misleadingly blending advice with advertising to drive browser adoption.
The prompt disguised as a security recommendation to switch to Edge is both compelling and controversial, as it's presented alongside a genuine security feature.
Critics argue that Microsoft's tactic leverages its enterprise security platform to unfairly enhance its browser market share under the guise of user security.
The integrated prompt to transition to Edge from Defender exemplifies a strategy that could mislead users by obscuring its advertising nature under security claims.
