Recently while searching for a book on Bookshop.org, I was interrupted by a popup apparently generated by Microsoft Edge advising me of an alternative:
Seems to me a scam, not from MS. Anyway look in the Windows settings in Notification, if they are activated and for what. But in all case do a scan with AdwCleanerhttps://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner, maybe you have caught an hijacker in your browser anywhere… MS don’t use pop up advertisings, ocasional notifications are only from the task bar.
Use an adblocker in your browser to avoid this, best combination is uBlock Origin and Trace., both are the best in their protection (uBO ad/tracking/malware blocking and Trace header and fingerprint spoofing, phising protect) and both OpenSource.
I also use Site Bleacher extension, highly recommended. It removes automatically all data from visited webs (cookies, local storages, IndexedDBs, service workers, cache storages, filesystems and webSQLs), except from the whitelisted ones.
