Microsoft Warns Millions Of Windows Users—Change Your Browser Now
In a stern warning issued to millions of Windows users, Microsoft is urging its customers to switch to its Edge browser immediately. The tech giant claims that Edge will provide enhanced protection against phishing and malware attacks, citing the latest developments in AI-powered security solutions.
The new message from Microsoft emphasizes the importance of adopting this change in order to stay protected while browsing. This push for change comes as a warning has been issued by the FBI, advising users on how to avoid becoming victims of holiday season email and web attacks.
Microsoft is adamant that Edge’s innovative features will help prevent these malicious activities. However, experts argue that Google is narrowing the gap between its Chrome browser and Microsoft Edge in terms of security. This development could make it difficult for Microsoft to convince users to switch.
In a further effort to nudge Windows users towards its product, Microsoft has incorporated new references to potential pop-ups within Edge that encourage users to set the browser as their default. The browser will also offer an option to confirm this change or delay it, but with a catch – selecting ‘Set Later’ will trigger another follow-up message in Edge, which cannot be removed.
The latest move by Microsoft comes amid concerns about the growing threat of email and web attacks during the holiday season.
