Edge has been on a campaign to dissuade web surfers from using Google Chrome. From banners that inform users that it runs on the same engine as Chrome (i.e., Chromium) to making it challenging for Windows users to make Chrome their default browser, Microsoft isn't making it easy for users to ditch Edge.

However, as Neowin spotted, it looks like Edge is taking it one step further with a poll.

Microsoft asks Google Chrome users why they don't want Edge

If you download Chrome (after ignoring several prompts that try to discourage you from doing so), a poll will appear on the side saying the following:

We love having you!

Can you please take a minute to tell us why you are trying another browser?

• I can't search Google easily

• I can't access my Google documents

• I don't have my favorites or passwords here

• Too many ads and pop-ups

• I don't like the news feed

• It's too slow

• My websites don't work on Microsoft Edge

• My reason is not listed

I wish there was an "Other" button with this poll. If you ask me, I prefer Google Chrome simply because I'm accustomed to it.

According to Windows Central, the poll is likely in testing because some can see it while others can't. I can see it when I attempt to download Google Chrome, but interestingly, this poll doesn't appear when I try to download other browser installers, including Firefox and Brave.

While the survey is a bit irksome (Edge users deal with enough "pick me instead!" content from the Microsoft browser), it does not block users from downloading Chrome.
