Microsoft is returning to the practice of introducing pop-up ads in Google Chrome to attract users to its Bing search engine.

Here's What We Know

These ads look like malware and cause negative reactions among users. Although Microsoft calls them one-time offers, many people consider them intrusive.

Users running Google Chrome on Windows 10 and 11 have noticed new windows popping up with Bing ads and artificial intelligence trying to get them to switch to the Bing search engine.

Many people find this practice unacceptable and demand alternative ways of advertising that are not intrusive and are the choice of the user.
