@GossiTheDog @aral looks like a misleading article. While the messages appear, you don't need to interact with any of them to download Chrome.
One: It's the link immediately under the banner.
Two: Ignore
Three: Ignore, the download is already complete and you were probably going to close edge anyway.
Four: See three
Edit: I just checked, nothing is "Injected" into the google pages either, they appear to run in independent viewports that aren't part of the main browser viewport.
@bitflipped @GossiTheDog The point isn’t about the exact technical details of how a deceptive/manipulative design pattern is implemented but that it’s implemented at all.
@aral @GossiTheDog that's a fair point, I didn't like it when Google did it either, but the article implies both in the headline and the first paragraph that it's something it isn't (injection & a barrier), which I don't like either.
@bitflipped @GossiTheDog I read injection not necessarily as “injected into the web page” but as “injected into the flow”. I couldn’t find the word “barrier” in the article.
@aral @GossiTheDog with barrier I was referring to
"How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Google Chrome download in Microsoft’s Edge web browser?"
As the answer to that is that it takes the same number as in any other web browser.
