The title of this article is deceptive clickbait.[1] The problem has nothing to do with the Edge browser, it has to do with search results returned by Bing, which happens to be Edge's default search engine. If you have a new Windows 10 PC and want to download Chrome, how else could you do it besides "using Microsoft Edge to download Chrome"? So "stop using Edge to download Chrome" is not useful advice. Better advice would be to check the URL and certificate information before downloading anything from any site.
And the problem seems to have been fixed. When I search for chrome download on Bing, the top result is https://www.google.com/chrome.
[1] Successful clickbait, too. Writing an article with "download Chrome" in the title apparently got them the top spot in Bing's "News about Chrome Download", so anyone who searches for "chrome download" will see this article near the top of the search results page. Very clever.
