Think this might only apply to European users, but what happened to the Browser Choice window that i thought MS had to show
Just got me thinking when i saw a comment about most not knowing how to install another browser, in the past the first time you launched IE, up popped a screen asking what browser you wanted
Not heard antything about this for a while and not seen it mentioned with 10? are MS now allowd to bundle what they want
I never heard of that feature before and I do suspect that would be a European feature only. Outside of Europe that feature doesn't exist so that's why that comment was being discussed. Here in the US I bet that the vast majority of casual users wouldn't know how to install a third party browser. I know that Erin wouldn't know where to begin.
Just popped into my mind about it, as i hadnt heard about it for ages
I agree that a lot woudnt know how to install another browser
Anyway, just been looking around and for info
So looks like this has gone anywayMicrosoft provided the Browser Choice update in accordance with a decision issued by the European Commission in December 2009. The obligations imposed by that decision have expired and as a result the Browser Choice Update will no longer be delivered to new users.
Browsers are a matter of preference. I bounce between IE11 and Chrome.
Here is the balance for me and work around since windows XP and Windows 7 right through to Windows 8.0 and Currently Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise
Internet Explore is gone for any or my use RIP never cared for IE
MS Edge has at least 3 years of work ahead of them to lay down the foundation and bring the standard of the new protocols to function and adopt to the new www protocol that will be geared for cloud and mobile transmissions and a lot more that I can share " no time at the moment "
Opera 2014 is the cream of the crop " get yourself a copy of the 2014 version and hang on tooth and nail to it " its the benchmark where all browsers should be built from and should be the bar of standards
Chrome is very good also but still needs a lot of work to function properly right across with every platform and device and most of all encryption currently Chrome is very weak around HTML applications, but over all Chrome will transform into a good tool and keep you save and have sound protection at the end of the day, as long as Google keeps throwing money at it
My every day browser is Opera 2014 and Chrome
My all time Favourite Browser was Netscape Communicator hands down till Mozilla acquired it
