On: Windows 10 taskbar is now pushing Microsoft Edge web apps

I use it every day and tbh I haven't had to touch the settings in years. I never encounter this stuff.

And reading the article it explicitly says they will only show users this feature if edge is their default browser.

No, it says "the pop-up will appear even when Microsoft Edge is the default browser... The company is not targeting people who use Google Chrome and Firefox as default browsers."

I.e., it shows up for everyone, not just people who aren't using Edge already. They aren't specifically targeting Chrome and Firefox users; they are just also included in the group.

Can confirm that I never encountered this behavior and I have Edge (although Canary) as my default browser at the moment.

That’s not what it says. It says "even when Microsoft Edge is the default browser".
