Microsoft ends Windows browser ballot in EU
- Someone1234 12y agoBrowser Choice was always obnoxious. You can talk all you wish about the rights and wrongs of the EU decision, but having to deal with that stupid screen was annoying as heck. I just kept on hitting IE then manually downloading Chrome, because to hit anything else would cause the IE icons to disappear and then you'd have to manually re-add them (for the rare times you use IE). Really all the EU should have done is made it so Microsoft cannot enforce or discourage OEMs from installing other browsers on new PCs/laptops/etc. Then when e.g. Firefox offered to pay Dell $1/machine, you could get IE and Firefox as baseline.
