Microsoft is marketing its Edge browser to users of its Defender security suite with an unusual prompt.
The prompt to use Edge promotes a feature known as In-browser protection with Microsoft Edge for Business .
The tactic amounts to a "dark pattern" an interface element or menu that is deceptively designed to steer users toward a particular choice.
