> Is it? If you suggest the opposite, you don't do web development or live in the early 2000's. > Across the board they are entitled to make that decision for every user? 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.
