An advertising delivery service hard-coded into the browser?
How much lower can they stoop?

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I don't use google, even on my phones (reverted to factory version, and never updated or opened), and I don't use chrome.
Next question.

I'm sure you can show ads depending on user agent, without having to hard code anything.

Probably, but it's not an avenue I'd ever explore, because I treat my customers with respect.

Searching for Firefox or Chrome in Edge's search box/address bar returns nothing but downloads links for these respective browsers, as would be expected.
That's because my default search engine in Edge is DuckDuckGo.
Therefore I have to conclude it's a Bing thing, and not an Edge thing.

Somehow, on a similar note:
Where I live, there's a bank, the "TD BANK", who is amazingly generous with their dark green pens. They are in use absolutely everywhere, it seems.
Well - they are now:
I took a hand full and left them at some of the desks at a nearby branch of the Chase Bank in case the chained pens were missing.
The Devil made me do it, and I'm glad

It has to do something with Edge... Searching with Bing on IE11 shows no begging...

Also a reply to @den2k88
I just tried multiple browsers and got identical giant begs in IE and Edge. In Chrome and Firefox I didn't get the same oversized keep using edge beg ad in the 2nd spot, instead I got a smaller edge ad as the top spot.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In that case it may be connected to W10... But do not expect me to install it just to see...

Yeah, but ... the MS ads have a picture!

I don't get anything like that, even if I use Edge and Bing. Could it be that they would get slapped in the face for such an ad in Europe?

Dunno, my level of caring falls well short of screwing around with location spoofing VPNs...

LAD THERE IS ANY RUNG TO CLIMB?
At low tide there are 14 rungs above water on the ship's side ladder. The rungs are 15 cm apart from each-other.
Toward high tide the water rises 8 cm each 6 minutes.
After 2 hours and 25 five minutes, how many rungs will still be above water?

Insufficient data!
Which way is the tide going?
Slogans aren't solutions.
