OK but that also describes pretty much all the Web browsers the vast majority of Web users actually intend to use, right?
- weare138 5y agoHow do you know what people 'intend' to use? Making it inconvenient to use alternative browsers especially when they compete with your own is manufactured consent not intention. I use FF on Linux and have to go through that crap every time FF updates even though nothing else has changed.

- immibis 5y agoYes, in part thanks to their efforts to make it harder to use other browsers...
