Windows is a hot mess in this regard.
Apple still irks me, though. Boot Safari, go and download Chrome. Install it. Which isn't silent, and requires multiple manual steps. Boot Chrome.
"Do you really want to use Chrome? (paraphrasing) Keep using Safari (the default option) or Switch to Chrome"
You know the user didn't accidentally download and install and start Chrome. Don't fucking ask.
- stephenr 3y ago> Don't fucking ask. (A) what is it actually asking though. Paraphrasing doesn't help here. Is it asking about changing the default? Is it asking if you want to run it? (B) google has a notorious history of pushing people to install chrome from their other properties, and it seems plausible that chrome is in fact the latest iteration of user-installed malware that a reasonable number of people install without really knowing why.
- tim333 3y agoThe user might want to install Chrome without making it the default browser.
- FireBeyond 3y agoChrome doesn't, and can't, install itself as the default in one step. Setting it as the default is a separate explicit action that the user has had to agree to. But Apple insists on asking separately to "make sure".
