The objective remains obviously unchanged for the Redmond firm: to divert chrome users to its own Edge browser, yet already widely promoted to Windows 11. Indeed, Microsoft tests a system that displays a contextual window encouraging to pin its browser at the task mark when you close it, but only for some user profiles. According to the clues discovered by Windows Latest In the Canary version of Edge, this message would only be displayed if the use of chrome exceeds a certain threshold, visibly set at 90%.
Whether it is default browser statistics, imports of data or telemetry, it is currently impossible to assert how this percentage is calculated by Microsoft. One thing is certain: the company uses an internal signal to decide who sees or not this incentive to pin Edge at the Windows 11 taskbar. In addition, this data is visibly used to target people who would largely favor the browser of the Mountain View giant.
Note that these “features” only remain internal tests at the moment when we write these lines. Therefore, and hopefully, they could very well never be deployed to users.
