During the upgrade, consumers have the choice to set defaults, including for web browsing. When we asked Microsoft for a comment, we received the following from a company spokesperson: “We designed Windows 10 to provide a simple upgrade experience for users and a cohesive experience following the upgrade. Its users were neither happy with its switch to Yahoo as the default search engine, nor with the integration of a WebRTC-based video chat tool and Pocket. Mozilla, though, it’s worth noting, also had a few issues lately.
“They are unsettling because there are millions of users who love Windows and who are having their choices ignored, and the increased complexity put into everyone’s way if and when they choose to make a choice different than what Microsoft prefers.” “These changes aren’t unsettling to us because we’re the organization that makes Firefox,” he writes. So to help users restore their defaults after upgrading to Windows 10, Mozilla has put together a step-by-step tutorial and video (which isn’t riveting but does the trick).īeard, who calls this an “aggressive move,” urges Microsoft to change its business tactics. “While it is technically possible for people to preserve their previous settings and defaults, the design of the new Windows 10 upgrade experience and user interface does not make this obvious nor easy,” Beard writes. For non-technical users, the procedure isn’t exactly self-explanatory. All that button will do is open up the Windows 10 default settings. You can’t just click “Use Firefox as my default browser” and that’s that. To once again make Chrome or Firefox your default, you have to open your browser of choice and go through a few steps to tell Windows 10 about your choice. However, with the launch of Windows 10 we are deeply disappointed to see Microsoft take such a dramatic step backwards.” Mozilla CEO Chris Beard “Sometimes we see great progress, where consumer products respect individuals and their choices.
