If I recall, the automatic download didn't work. I had to click the manual download link.

The pop-up said Edge was based on Chrome with the added trust of MS.

I really wish I could get others to use Firefox, but they're too used to Chrome.

I got curious and tried it. Yes, the installer is downloaded, but there are a bunch of banners when attempting it.

I just tried it out, Edge showed the banner twice, once over the Chrome download confirmation (when the browsers asks if you're sure you want to keep an .exe file), and the second didn't obey the X to close. I had to click on the downloads list to be able to tell Edge to keep the Chrome installer.
