Google Chrome can warn that all it wants.... Microsoft Edge is now the most used member of the Chrome family, and Microsoft Edge is moving towards implementing their own equivalent of uBlock built into the browser (thus, not Javascript, runs much faster).
This fucking sucks. I recently just told someone to stop using ABP and to use uBO. "Normal people" don't want, nor care enough, to switch to Firefox.

Statcounter says 64% Chrome 13% Edge, on Desktop. Edge shrinks to 5% if you count mobile.

Statcounter hasn't been legitimate for years, unfortunately. We don't have a good replacement either.

Then why are you confident that edge is more popular, what is the basis for this assertion?

Don't worry. The same thing will happen to it on firefox eventually. They always copy everything chrome does.

I think they mean installed base. Every Windows 10/11 has it installed and is automatically updated every month. So Edge is the most installed Chromium browser. If Chrome’s browsing experience dips below a threshold, people can just use what’s already there in their machines.
On Android, Google Play Store says "50M+ downloads" for Edge, while Firefox (which is not a hugely popular browser on mobile) has "100M+ downloads". So it stands to reason that the vast majority of the 3 billion or so Android users stick with the default, Chrome.

"Popular" isn't the right descriptor either, I have fielded many calls from relatives and aquaintainces that want "plain Windows" without the popup ads and Edge-y additions.
