Sound unbelievable but the truth is that tech giant Microsoft is now paying people to use the Edge Browser and the Bing search engine. Microsoft is willing to go all the way, to convert as many people to Edge-believing users and bring it search engine Bing to rival and maybe beat Google search as the most used search engine in the world.

This week, Microsoft announced that it is rebranding the former Bing rewards to Microsoft rewards – a platform that will pay you to use the Edge browser and Bing for your searches. Edge users, who sign up for Microsoft Rewards, would be awarded points simply for using the browser. How? Microsoft would actively monitor whether you are using the program for up to 30 hours a month, you also have to make Bing as your default search engine to earn points. Points can then be traded in for vouchers or credit for places such as Starbucks, Skype, Amazon and ad-free Outlook.com

If properly promoted, this will put Edge in the spot it is clamoring for a long time, but it is still going to be a long battle between them and Google.

One of the problems the Edge browser has at the moment is that it’s limited to Windows 10 PC which is yet to become very popular. Microsoft should make it available to all, and then watch the numbers triple.

Before you get too excited my Nigerian brothers, it isn’t available in any African country, yet.
