Can you walk me through how you're reading that? I don't understand how you have reached that conclusion.

Sure. I think the key to my interpretation is "even when".

> the pop-up will appear *even when* Microsoft Edge is the default browser

"Even when" says to me that this scenario is in addition to some other scenario, which must inevitably be when Edge isn't the default browser.

Read the next sentence you quoted.

This is how the first sentence should read with correct parenthesization: "It’s worth noting that the pop-up will appear even (when Microsoft Edge is the default browser AND you’ve already pinned sites to the taskbar)"

Hmmm... good point. It would be nice if the article clearly confirmed whether the suggestions would appear for those with third-party default browsers.

Ah. I see how you are reading that now. Now I'm not sure how to take that sentence.

From the article:

> "the pop-up will appear even when Microsoft Edge is the default browser... The company is not targeting people who use Google Chrome and Firefox as default browsers."

Translation: it will show up for everyone, not just for Chrome and Firefox users.

It's a weird sentence. Doesn't "The company is not targeting people who use Google Chrome and Firefox as default browsers." imply that they aren't showing it to Chrome and Firefox users?

The former part seems to imply to me that you get this suggestion even if you've already used the feature.

> imply that they aren't showing it to Chrome and Firefox users?

No. It says that Chrome and Firefox users are not specifically targeted, it says nothing about then not getting the suggestions when they are a part of wider group, like Windows users.
