Arne Brasseur , a technology expert, said in his Twitter account, 'Searching for Firefox in Bing will display a sentence recommending the use of Microsoft Edge.' 'When trying to install Firefox, there is a screen recommending the use of Microsoft Edge. I reported an event such as 'appearing'. 'It's strange that it's legal in the EU,' said Arne Brasseur about Microsoft's method of inducing users to use Microsoft Edge.




When I actually searched for the word 'firefox' in Bing, I saw a sentence at the top of the search results that discouraged the installation of Firefox, saying 'You don't need to download a new web browser.' In addition, in the upper right corner of the search results, the message 'How about firefox ?? Is it different from Edge?' By chat AI ' Rinna ' was displayed.



Next, when

I searched for the word 'chrome', the same sentences as when searching for 'firefox' were displayed. Rinna also sends a Microsoft Edge recommendation message, 'Or is it Microsoft Edge?'



I searched for words such as 'brave', 'vivaldi', 'safari', and 'opera' to check the display on other web browsers, but these words did not display the problematic sentence at the top of the search results, and Rin It was silent.



In addition, the phenomenon that 'when I try to install Firefox, a screen recommending the use of Microsoft Edge appears' is mentioned in the official Firefox help. According to the official help, certain versions of Windows 10 will display the following warning screen when installing Firefox.



If you see the warning screen above, you may need to change your Windows settings to install Firefox. The official help explains how to change the Windows settings with images, so if you stumbled upon the Firefox installation procedure, please refer to the help.
