As if that stops Windows from spamming you with popups that you should be using Edge with Bing instead.

The pop up specifically mentions chrome, it's not asking to switch browser but just the search engine. It's anecdotal but I only use Firefox and have never gotten this pop up.

I use Firefox on windows 11. I never get pop ups.
