Browser updates from Microsoft have ALWAYS been opt-in and that is the reason you don't see the same adoption rates like with other browser manufacturers.
As a web developer, it's my biggest gripe with Microsoft.
- halo 16y agoMicrosoft ships IE as a critical Windows update. It's as "opt-in" as any critical Windows update.
