What if that default browser was IE and they're obviously trying to get people off of that because it's now legacy? Should they only change the default browser

What if that default browser was IE and they're obviously trying to get people off of that because it's now legacy?
Should they only change the default browser to edge if it was IE before?
Doesn't seem fair to them...

There is a plausible argument for doing so in that case if Edge is a same-vendor, intended-replacement for IE. > Doesn't seem fair to them... How is it not fair to them that they should only their own bundled software as a replacement for bundled software from earlier versions of Windows, and not for third-party software that the user had to deliberately choose to replace their bundled software with? What possible conception of fairness could their be where this claim even makes sense?
- Zelphyr 11y agoIt would be fair to them because it would switch the customer from one Microsoft browser to another Microsoft browser which benefits both Microsoft and the customer. Rather than switching the customer from the browser of their choice to one of Microsoft's choice, which only benefits Microsoft.
