And Google wants to make sure that someone is not trying to hack your account which happens all the time. Getting into your own Google account can be difficult without keys to the kingdom. Perhaps even perform a little survey and ask them what they think of Edge.Let’s be honest. OK Google, so someone logged onto their Gmail account via Edge. Yet the fact that it feels so needy - this is a security alert, after all - as to remind any GMail-loving Edge users that Chrome exists shows more than a hint of insecurity. True, Google doesn't specifically mention Edge here. When you're the market leader, it's best not to acknowledge your lesser rivals. You'll also tell me Microsoft does something similar when you use Hotmail via, say, Firefox.īut the more Google shows its competitiveness with any - even subtle - reference to Edge, the more it gives Microsoft's browser credibility. Yes, you'll tell me that Google has to advertise whenever and wherever it can. Chrome is a fast, simple, and secure browser, built for the modern Web."ĭoes this mean that Edge is a slow, complicated and insecure browser, built for Caxton's paper klaxon?

Techdows has spotted that when users suddenly log on to their Gmail accounts from a new device - via the strange browser that is the new Edge - they get the standard security alert email message.īut a large part of it is now a slightly stroppy suggestion that they should use Chrome instead. Microsoft - the new soft, but sturdy version - intimated that apps from Google's Chrome Web store mess up Edge's inner workings.īut then Redmond realized it didn't have so many fine Edge extensions, so it started to recommend Chrome Web Store extensions.Ī truce. Which is odd coming from a company that's just been sued for allegedly tracking users' private browsing activity. Google seemed miffed that Microsoft had created a functioning browser. Which could be something to do with the fact that it's based on Google's Chromium platform.
Why, Chrome's market share is now said to be almost 50 percent.īut then here came Microsoft with something oddly competent. Humans, flocking fools that they are, immediately forsook their old browsers. Once upon a time, Google created Chrome, a browser that actually seemed to work for fundamental things like video and opening more than one tab at the same time. Here is but the latest chapter, for example, in its riveting browser scuffle with Microsoft.
