We have been increasingly worried about the trend on Windows,” says Selena Deckelmann, senior vice president of Firefox, in a statement to The Verge. “Since Windows 10, users have had to take additional and unnecessary steps to set and retain their default browser settings. These barriers are confusing at best and seem designed to undermine a user’s choice for a non-Microsoft browser.” Come on. Those of us who are a little older remember when this browser lock-in was Microsoft's SOP in the 90s. And not just browsers. MSFT has used lots of dirty tricks to fool their customers and thus lock them into using their DOS ('AARD'), their 'Java', their disk-compression, and other different stuff since 1975. People keep saying 'It's a new Microsoft. They are much better than they used to be' - but I keep seeing the dirty tricks returning over and over again. Maybe one day they will change. But I don't see that day any time soon.
