Windows is just full of hostile, anti-user patterns these days. I've considered building a windows box just to have a gaming rig multiple times over the last few years, but every time an article like this or their crusade against Chrome reminds me that Bill Gates is still the same anti-trust monster he was in the 90s.

Well at least Microsoft allows you to install other browsers. Apple only allows skins for their mobile browser.

That is on iOS, on MacOS they allow other browsers and respect the systemwide defaults.

Personally I use Linux unless forced to use something else by my employer.

on a new install of MacOS, when you have installed Chrome and explicitly set it as the default browser, MacOS will still ask you, albeit once, whether you really want to open that resource in Chrome, or Safari. And Chrome isn't the default option.
