Doesn't Chrome do this with it's constant nag popops on Search if you're using any other browser, or how it's bundled with other software?

- thatguy0900 6y ago>Does it install without user consent? This depends on whether you actually consider a small precheckmarked box buried 5 pages deep into a installer you are intended to mindlessly skip through clicking OK to the tiny legalese text to be consent or not
- xg15 6y agoNot sure if they still do it but Chrome absolutely used to fulfill the "trick user into installing it" criterion: It was frequently bundled with other software and auto-installed unless you unchecked a box deeply hidden in an "advanced settings" screen.
