Saw this tonight, not so unbelievable, and yet such a dirtbag thing to see.

Exactly why I defected to linux.  I note when I install a windoze os still,
launching edge to search "google chrome" results it in it begging you not
to leave.  It's funny to me.

I keep a dated old chrome and firefox around on a share to bootstrap off of
so as not to even launch edge for a while now, at least at home.

Now they just link you to malware.  Caveat emtor indeed.
