    I think many people don’t feel they have an alternative. That’s not the same as trust.

    With browsers, they have a choice, despite MS’s best efforts.

      People don’t have an alternative. Microsoft will choose for them at the next Windows update and pick auto MS Edge as the default browser again. They are solving problems…

        It’s worth noting that this is mainly an issue on the cheapest Windows licenses. On Pro editions and Enterprise editions you can prevent the hijacking via Group Policy, which is not available to Home licenses.

        Please note that I’m not saying I’m okay with this. I’m just trying to explain why there’s a bunch of people out there who don’t have to deal with that mess (like myself).
