Do they? I just loaded google up in IE - no mention of it there. Loaded it up in Firefox - I don't see any mention there either.

Safari? Nope still no pop up saying "chrome is better use chrome".

So can you explain - or link to a source - how visiting google on any browser will cause it to say "using chrome is better"?

 

There you go. Took me one try on IE. Obviously, they are not going to bombard you with the ad every single time you use Google :)

Google working better with Chrome is definitely different to "your PC battery will last 36% longer with this browser" though, one is a simple case of their site and search engine being utterly as compatible as possible with their code used in their own browser. The other relies on graphics drivers, PC cpus, screen size, battery capacity, even if on a single device it was true that you could get a 36% longer battery by running edge instead of Chrome chances are on 99.9999% of devices you would not see the same results because of all the factors which have to be taken into account, that said the advert/tip does say "up to" and if broadband speeds have thought users anything, the words "up to" should always mean "in our wildest hopes and dreams, once in a blue moon, if the wind is blowing in the right direction and no one else is doing anything in the world which uses electricity".

Still though I think there is a big difference between "our search engine works best with our browser" and "your PC/tablet battery will work for 36% longer with our browser" one is plausible the other is a Pokemon holding a leek!
