Why not? Look at how Google is proactively preventing Microsoft from delivering a good YouTube experience on WP: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;10&#x2F;7&#x2F;4813836&#x2F;microsoft-reverts-back-to-basic-youtube-app-windows-phone" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;10&#x2F;7&#x2F;4813836&#x2F;microsoft-reverts-...</a><p>All weapons are good in the war for clueless users, the experienced ones will find their way.

I saw this yesterday and the amount of Mozilla hate was weird. I know they&#x27;ve dipped in popularity over the years, but theirs is the only browser I still trust with my data.<p>Anyway, the option to not set Edge as default was incredibly easy to understand. It asked you to toggle which programs you wanted to set as the new defaults. You uncheck what you don&#x27;t, click &quot;next&quot; and there you have it.

Mozilla changes your default search engine to Yahoo. I wonder if they would be as upset if Bing had outbid Yahoo for this privilege.<p>Both companies should be prosecuted under the CFAA for these acts, making unauthorized changes to computers that don&#x27;t belong to them.
