  They are removing the option to be able to even set the protocol association. This has nothing to do with protecting users and everything to do with protecting their telemetry gathering. When I set a default browser, if the OS needs to open a web page I want to it to open in that browser. If Apple can do this properly, so can Microsoft. Tired of the excuses and corporate double speak bullshit.

    Manners! It's untamed corporation behaviour, not bullshit. Not on this level. Also, learn from Microsoft astroturfing manual, you should not use harsh sentences nor expletives to convey an idea. Try to frame it as a subtle doubt, in a polite way. Unless you are a reverse astroturfer, in that case, you're doing well.

      > Manners! No, they've been doing this crap for decades. They don't deserve any respect or courtesy. It needs to be called out for what it is when they just brazenly think they can do whatever the hell they want because they somehow own the computer because it has their software on it.
