Microsoft websites detects Edge browser as Chrome hahaaha

 

Seriously? Please fix........ 

  • TrueGame Ha ha. That's interesting. I guess that's what happens when things are not unified across Microsoft. Stuff like this happens a lot with Microsoft, and to a slightly lesser extent, Google. Apple seems to be the only one that actually keeps, or at least used to keep, things somewhat uniform across its ecosystem. Also, for google sites, I usually have the user agent set to chrome at all times to prevent any issues. Google likes people using their chrome browser only.

    You are right, and this needs to be fixed. Even the Bing Homepage treats it as Chrome.

    Look at the "make Bing your homepage" link at the bottom. Now see what happens when I click on it.

    Only Chrome, Firefox and IE are mentioned. If it isn't for Edge, why was the link there in the first place. I know there are other ways of setting Edge's homepage as Bing, but that link at the bottom should not have been there.

      This is important so I would report it using feedback button on Edge too

        The link's been there for like years now, and I have reported multiple times both on Bing's Feedback section and on Edge.
        Let's hope Microsoft finally fixes this.
