Not if you switch to Mac!
- pipeline_peak 4y agoNot if you switch to Mercedes!
- runjake 4y agoYes, switch to Mac so you can get forced “Try Safari!” popups instead.
- sbuk 4y agoWhat? You may see a popup once, on first run after switching default, just like every other browser.
- nicoburns 4y agoYou also get it on OS upgrades. But seeing as these are only once a year this seems like not too big a deal to me.

- im_jerry87 4y agoHaven't seen any of these pop-ups thrown at my face in 3 years of using macOS. Also, your default choice for browser is respected throughout the system unlike Windows. Web links in search not respecting my default and opening in Edge is one of most disgusting things I've seen.
- shrimp_emoji 4y agoAnd now you still don't control your system; you've just swapped your master for a different one. :D Open-source is the only way to freedom. (And, fittingly, it's not the easiest.)
- FredPret 4y agoNo, now I'm finally the master of my computing experience. I happen to like Apple's taste in this regard, and am happy to outsource many small decisions to them at a fee. With Microsoft, I never enjoy their defaults, and they'll shove it down your throat. With Linux, there are no defaults, and I have to invest a lot of my limited time setting everything up.
