Windows 10 Informs Chrome and Firefox Users That Edge is 'Safer' (venturebeat.com)

An anonymous reader shares a VentureBeat report:Microsoft has turned on a new set of Windows Tips that inform Chrome and Firefox users on Windows 10 that Edge is a "safer" browser. We reached out to Microsoft to find out how long this latest recommendation has been active. "This wave of Windows Tips for Windows 10 users began in early November," a Microsoft spokesperson told VentureBeat. If this sounds familiar, that's because Microsoft turned on similar Windows 10 tips back in July, warning Chrome/Firefox users about battery drain and then recommending Edge instead.

Considering the latest DDoS attack coming from Linux machines (yes, IoT machines are Linux), one can claim that lately Linux has a worse security track record than Windows. In reality, I suspect that correct configuration is much more important than choice of OS.
(And now to get downmodded for daring to say that LInux is not better than Windows)
