Edge just showed me a (huge) ad within the browser UI (between the address bar and web view):

> Take your AI-powered copilot for the web on the go! Download Microsoft Edge on your mobile device to sign-up and get ready for the new Bing experience!

This is especially irritating because there's no reason to show me this ad–I already use Edge as my primary browser on mobile (because the latest iOS update made Safari start losing its scroll position when going back to a previous page).

Between this and the frequent repinning of an Edge icon to my Windows desktop (every single update), I'm fairly annoyed.

Does FireFox do this kind of annoying stuff? Is there another browser I should try?

Edit: I've seen small “ads” before in Edge (like “try this new feature” or “oh no, please don't install Chrome”), but never just a literal huge banner ad.
