    Has that actually happened? You sure you didn’t click some “I agree” button after an update?

    Windows has never set a new default browser for me without asking. Sure, it asked a few times, but unless I agreed, no settings were changed.

      I believe, the behaviour is different, depending on where you’re from. In the EU, Microsoft is comparatively well-behaved. In the US, they’re extra icky.
