Microsoft may restrict competitors from uploading from mobile features on Edge browser

#Microsoft is working on bringing mobile upload functionality to its popular browser Edge. The feature has been in development on the Dev and Canary channels for a long time, but according to a recent discovery, the Redmond-based tech giant may limit its use on competitors.

Basically, if you try to upload a file on Edge, there will be an "Upload from mobile" option. Then, once you click on it, you'll see a QR code, scan it with your phone's camera to start pairing. Once paired, it will open Edge on your mobile device and allow you to upload files.

The file size is unlimited. However, if you use a mobile browser other than Edge, you can only upload up to 3 files.

However, this is not the first and only time Microsoft has adopted this "marketing" strategy by restricting user access.

Not long ago, when users looked for “google bard” (a competitor to Bing Chat) on Edge, a pop-up banner said they should try Bing Chat.
