It's their OS. Seems like an odd issue.
- gleenn 3y agoWasn't there a major lawsuit long ago between Netscape and Microsoft over software bundling. Pretty sure it Microsoft in reaction made Internet Explorer free to avoid the monopoly claim effectively. This bankrupted Netscape because their browser was their only revenue driver whereas Microsoft could still sell its other products. Mozilla the non-profit was formed and inherited Netscape's browser software which was then supported by Google paying for it's search engine to be the default browser page in Firefox and funding the majority of the donations to Mozilla for years. So it's actually a huge deal with seemingly exactly the same precedent from the same company only a couple decades later. Kind of surprising they keep trying so it must be very lucrative.
- leshenka 3y agoSee that's a problem. When you buy a license it should become YOUR OS.
- yomlica8 3y agoBut I didn't buy the OS. It was force installed while I slept after I failed a dark pattern check due to fatigue.
