Using Edge browser to download the Chrome installation package, Edge is trying to retain users

The Chrome browser on my computer is version 123.x, and I’m preparing to install the latest version (125.x). Since I can’t upgrade online, I need to re-download the Chrome installation package from the official Chrome website.

When I opened the official Chrome website using Edge browser, a small prompt appeared in the top-right corner of the browser, as shown in the image below. I closed the prompt and continued downloading.

After clicking “Download”, a Microsoft Edge browser advertisement popped up at the top of the page, as shown in the image below.

It seems like Edge is encouraging users to stick with Edge.

I have three web browsers on my computer, so I tried using Firefox browser, and there were no prompts at all.
