I remember them doing this with Internet Explorer back in the 90s.
"We can't remove this thing we don't want to remove! Look! It's hastily integrated with the OS! We can't remove it ever!"
yep exactly my thoughts. IE couldn't be ripped off a Windows computer at all
It still can’t.. Hidden somewhere deep in windows, there is still a IE, believe me.
At very least there's an OCX for InteractiveHtmlView or some stuff. It's how South Korean banks apps run. I think even the EU-specific "unbundled IE" versions still have that ActiveX / OLE control registered, though it might be crippled.
