Security alert when Google removed access Edge Chrome Web Store

Last month we reported that the Microsoft Edge user when accessing the Chrome Web Store will receive a notification from Google reminder, the main purpose is to advise them to use Google Chrome, because it is more secure.

But many users complained, install and run an extension from the Chrome Web Store does not seem to bring any additional security risk in the Edge. Google was also not issued a statement to explain why such a move would be less secure. In addition, Google does not provide links to any page or document in a reminder as to why install Chrome extension unsafe Edge.

In short, the matter after such a lot of public opinion is enlarged, and now we see that this was criticized by many users reminder has been replaced with "You can now add extensions from the Chrome Web Store to Microsoft Edge- Click on 'Add to Chrome ., ' "meaning that can be extended through the Chrome Web Store to install Microsoft Edge. Similarly, Google has not made this statement to explain why you want to change a reminder of the copy.

Although there is no current alert the user may also install and use unimpeded expansion, which previously did not stop to remind the user to install the extension, but the information revealed by mistake will inevitably make them feel install extensions from Google is unsafe Edge.

Thus, even before and after these two reminders nothing to do with browser functionality, but after the reminder might "discouraging" section of ordinary users and those users do not understand Google and Microsoft compete in the browser, which has official endorsement, confirming the Chrome extension is installed in the Edge is no problem, after all, Google does not consider it unsafe.

Microsoft Edge this was far Google "special care" of the event, install the Chrome extension is undoubtedly greatly enrich its capabilities in Microsoft Edge, but do not know Google this "forced" to Microsoft Edge advertise what the mood ?
