For many people who purchase a new Windows 10 PC, Microsoft’s built-in Edge browser has one purpose: to download an alternate browser like Google Chrome. The most common way to do this for people who don’t have the URL memorized? Type “download Chrome” in the address bar and click the first result provided by Bing search. Unfortunately those unsuspecting users have a high chance of downloading malware and adware. That’s because Bing has been serving up malicious but highly visible Google Chrome ads for months .

Who uses bing for anything? The first thing I would do is type in "Google.com" in the address bar and search for chrome that way.

I recently switched from Chrome/Google Search to Firefox/Duck duck go
