Is Chrome the New IE? (2023)

I just bought a new computer and was curious, so I thought I'd try Windows first, and . . .

No. Chrome is not the new IE. I am constantly pushed to use Edge for everything, to "make it better" for myself. It's actually sorta creepy . . .

You do know that Edge is Chromium repackaged, like all other browsers except Safari and Firefox?

So then why does Microsoft try to push it so hard on users who are trying to use Chrome? It's hard to believe they're just trying to save everyone the minimal time and effort that's being spent installing a different browser by randomly deciding to force a full-screen ad on an OS update. At absolute best, it's benign but worth not using simply to avoid rewarding whatever misguided incentives lead to them to "market" it like this.
