Is it? Across the board they are entitled to make that decision for every user?
it is absolutely as bad as any of the crapware vendors who do this. Google is just as bad as the ask toolbar people.

Saying "every" is an exaggeration, since several users would opt-out. Installing a better (yes, better) browser to technically-impaired people who don't even know what a browser is looks like a good trade off to me. > it is absolutely as bad as any of the crapware vendors who do this. Google is just as bad as the ask toolbar people. Ask is a dying company doing questionable last ditch efforts. Google is a healthy company deliberately tweaking tech-impaired user's defaults, there is a difference whether you like it or not.
