Anyone know how to turn off Microsoft Edge popups that appear whenever I launch Google Chrome?

They're starting to get irritating.

Microsoft "patches" have done this:

If you find the offending patch you can remove it as well as the registry fix mentioned above.

Never happens on my Mac.

Never happens on my dishwasher as well.

The Goog told me how to make a registry change to get rid of the edge hyperlinks on the start page.

Thanks, but that's not popups.

Just wait until your next dishwasher is networked as part of the Internet of Things.

Settings > Default App Settings > Web Browser

I switch browsers quite often without troubles.

Default is already Chrome.

But still Edge makes its presence known.

It's a GE Connected dishwasher. Even comes with its own app.

I'm waiting for a Russian hacker to turn it into a bot.

Have you got the "get tips tricks etc" thing on in win10?

This time, the spokesperson added that Windows 10 users can always change default settings and preferences, including turning off these notifications in their system’s settings (for those interested, open the Settings app => System => Notifications => Disable “Get tips, tricks and suggestions as you use Windows”).


Woot!

Excuse me, but the only divisiveness I want to see in this thread is between Mac and Windows people, and iOS and Android people.
