You mean like when you visit a Google service (Gmail, Google, Maps ...) on a non Chrome browser it bugs incessantly to switch?
It's pervasive and it stinks, but it's not Microsoft. It's our current capitalist gestalt.
Never had this happen on Firefox yet.
Does Firefox even have any other service beside their broswer which they could use for such a promotion?
Yes, Mozilla also has Hubs, vpn, Pocket and more
I've been using Firefox for years to access Google services, and have never ever had a single issue. I hope it stays this way, with all this Web Environment Integrity shenanigans they are pushing for at the moment.
I just tried doing this in Edge. No pop-up showed up. Can you show a screenshot of this "incessant" behavior?
Either I've just gotten blind for these messages, or it has never happened to me. I'm using Firefox and have been using it for years, but so far I haven't really noticed these messages at all on Google services.
I've never had this happen to me, and I've been on firefox for over 8 years at this point
