Microsoft hijacks Google's Chrome download page to beg you not to ditch Edge
Microsoft Edge has been spotted inserting a banner into the Chrome download page on Google.com begging people to stick with the Windows giant's browser., an attempt to download and install Chrome Canary using Edge Canary – both experimental browser builds – led to the presentation in the Edge browser window of a banner graphic celebrating the merits of Edge.
"Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft," the banner proclaims atop a button labeled"Browse securely now.", and it's not clear how this ad surfaced. Edge appears to display the banner by itself when the user surfs to the Chrome download page on Google.com, which is just a little bit aggressive.
The ad does not appear to have been delivered through normal ad servers based on its page placement. There's debate among those discussing the banner online whether the ad consists of code injected by Edge into Google's webpage, which would make it detectable and removable as part of the Document Object Model.
Our source speculated the ad was implemented in a way that pushes down the"Content area" – the space where loaded web pages get rendered – to make space for a second rendering area that holds the ad.
