The title is misleading.
The Edge popup asks you if you want to import data from other browsers and set the default browser (like what happens when any browser is installed). If you just press cancel a bunch of times nothing gets imported or defaults changed and only some icons get added. That dude just killed it in the task manager so it used the popup's default settings.
Complain about getting the chromified Edge popup as part of a regular update, not about it copying data.
- Dylan16807 6y agoIf you do nothing, it copies your data. That is unacceptable, and the title is not misleading.
- bsznjyewgd 6y agoNo, that guy didn't "do nothing". He killed it in task explorer instead of just pressing no.
- Dylan16807 6y agoYou shouldn't have to do that. And it disables the normal close button. What if you reboot without engaging with this weird unclosable window? What if you lose power? That's not agreement to the terms! When you have a dialog to choose between yes and no, it is not acceptable to copy data without 'yes' being clicked. Justification about "they didn't 'just press no'" is not okay. He did nothing in terms of giving the program any kind of input.
- masswerk 6y ago"Do nothing" doesn't imply consent by any means. Exiting (killing) a forced onboarding process must be an option and doesn't imply any consent, as well. Like "do nothing", the clear intent is to not to alter the status quo. Default settings can't imply consent. There's no contract, no grant, no entitlement for any subsequent actions. (The EU GDPR made this quite clear on a legal level.)
