    Microsoft confirms it has recommended Edge browser in Windows 10 preview builds


    A report yesterday revealed that Microsoft is planning to recommend Edge browser on Windows 10 in an aggressive way. But as expected, this is just an experiment for time being and it won’t be included in the public version of Windows 10.

    The new recommendation or suggestion shows up whenever users attempt to install Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox in preview builds of Windows 10 October 2018 Update. Unlike the previous suggestions of Edge browser in Windows 10, the purpose of this is rather controversial as the idea is to convince users to stick with Microsoft Edge.

    “You already have Microsoft Edge – the safer, faster browser for Windows 10,” the title of the warning reads. There are two options “Open Microsoft Edge” or “Install anyway,” and a link that basically allows you to turn off the suggestions and recommendations like the above one.

    The link is featured right below the notification and you can click on it to disable all suggestions in Windows 10. Such an aggressive tactic is apparently not well received by the user community but there’s no need to panic as Microsoft has confirmed that the testing was limited to Insiders only.

    In a statement, Microsoft confirmed that the company is testing this suggestion in Windows 10 preview builds only and it hasn’t been activated in the public version.

    “We’ve tested this functionality with Insiders only – The Windows Insider Program enables Microsoft to test different features, functionality and garner feedback before rolling out broadly. Customers remain in control and can choose the browser of their choice,” a Microsoft spokesperson explains.

    Microsoft isn’t the only company promoting its services in its own platform. YouTube and Google recommend Chrome over Edge and other browsers.

    Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

    "One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

    Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

    ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

    "Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

    This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

    Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner.
    "

    Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]
