I think I am okay with this popup, I mean they are asking whats wrong with their product. They arent trying to break something in Chrome or like that.

If Edge stops forcing everyone with their "new and improved AI powered..." stuff, it is better than Chrome.

Completely legal and definitely not abusing one monopoly to push for another

Honestly Edge might be better at this point but it really doesn't matter. Google won the browser war years ago and people have too much inertia to care

I use Opera because it uses less memory on my tiny $175 laptop.

Edge was good at launch, it's still okay but it's kind of a bloated mess now

but it’s kind of a bloated mess now

That's Chrome and all its varieties, to be fair

They think Chrome as everybody have a Gmail account but not Microsoft account. I dont think you can login to Edge with a Google account and get all your stuff there. At minimum you first must install Chrome, then start Edge and trigger the import process - but why do that when you now already have Chrome installed?

This is true for all other browsers.
