New Windows driver blocks software from changing default web browser automagically
(www.bleepingcomputer.com)
Long story short: That pop-up you get when you open Firefox (or whatever other browser) for the first time asking you if you want to make it your default browser won't work anymore. They're forcing you to go through their convoluted control panel where you have to change it like 20 times for each file extension.

Oh, come one.
I love and use linux just as much as the next communist, I've used as my daily driver for a decade. But we should be pointed, specific, and correct in our criticisms. The setting isn't that hard to change, most people are not going to be touching shtml links and the like. There is someone at google right now who is currently testing a new script to make sure they can still set everything to go through chrome.
This person is not an m$ fanboy. @Zvyozdochka@hexbear.net we all hate microsoft but that's not a good reason to be inaccurate.
If you want to stoke your m$ hate, this week at my work they added a copilot button to the start bar. It's one menu and one click to remove, but still annoying. Especially because we're not allowed to even use their stupid copilot shit legally.
Where was OP inaccurate?
