I can't believe Micro$oft is still trying to pull this shit after it was fined for this in the European Union.
Hopefully, they'll fine them again, because this is unacceptable.
No, I don't use Windows, but people who use it and are less tech savvy should not be jumping through so many hoops to make the switch
Apple is almost as bad with Safari on MacOs and you can't even really change the browser on IOS. But everyone shits on Microsoft.
Thank you! I don't like either approach but I hate that only one gets this much flack
Android is getting there too You have to jump through a lot of hoops not to use Chrome
I think the reason for the dichotomy is their purported motivation for doing so.
I say “purported” because I know Lemmy has a bone to pick with Apple’s privacy claims, and I would prefer to gracefully avoid it, but I will say that, regardless of the extent to which Apple collects user data, it is easy to ensure that they aren’t hyper-aggressively monetizing it.
You can change the default browser, but it doesn't matter since all of them are forced to use Apple's WebKit.
Exactly my point. Pretty much just a different skin
