Go to Settings > System > Notifications > Disable “Get tips, tricks and suggestions as you use Windows.” In case you didn’t know this - it points out that the browser blocks “21 percent more socially engineered malware.” You can turn off this notification, too.
VentureBeat says this new “tip” has just rolled out this month, and appears just above the Edge taskbar icon. However, with notifications such as these, it’s easy to see that the educational aspect has been blurred, and it is now little more than a commercial for their nascent software. In the past, Windows Tips were used as an instructional means to educate users about the OS. They’re back, and this time Microsoft is touting its Internet Explorer successor as a “safer” alternative. Neowin reminds us of those past pesky Windows 10 notifications that used to remind you Chrome was draining your battery faster than Edge. Yes, Opera browser fans, we acknowledge your passion, but at least Microsoft didn’t single you out. Being the kindly tech big brother that it is, Microsoft would just like to let you know that in its opinion, Edge is a “safer” browser than Chrome or Firefox. Even though Google’s Chrome has a massive share of the browser market ( 2 billion installs served, as McDonalds used to say), the Redmond campus continues to press forward with its Edge browser.
