Microsoft is so keen to attract users to its Edge browser that it will pay people to use it.
Users located in the US can earn credits that can be spent in the Microsoft online store on things like three months of advertisement-free Outlook and Amazon cards.
Microsoft won't let you just run Edge and cash in: it will monitor user's mouse and keyboard movements for "active use" of the browser. If you're busy enough, Redmond will hand over credits, soon to be renamed points under a program detailed here.*
It will take about 1000 Bing searches and about 19 days to earn US$5 you can put towards terrible Starbucks coffee, based on Bing desktop and mobile searches.
Developers thinking of gaming the system with various search scripts could be foiled by Microsoft's daily earnings restrictions which limit users to scoring 25 credits a day across 50 searches, 20 of which must be made on mobile. Full story...
