Spare me the whataboutism to justify Microsoft's actions.
If Chrome did that it would be objectionable too.
- mcny 7y agoExactly. Imagine if Google changed your windows installation to point shortcut to win word to point to a new chrome window in kiosk mode that opens docs.new...
- bgdnyxbjx 7y agoChrome literally did something like this. When the user searched the web from the Windows search box, it used to open their default browser to bing.com. Chrome started to inspect the url and redirect to Google.com. So Microsoft changed it to open Edge to block this bs.
- dontblink 7y agoI would argue the inverse. I set my preference in Chrome. Why is Windows forcing me to use Bing if I use the search box in Windows 10?
- behringer 7y agoLike making Google search the default?
- Milner08 7y agoIt doesn't sound like he is trying to justify it. He's suggesting that the popular alternative is just as bad. In no way does that make Microsoft's action any better.
