Microsoft Undermines Chrome Feature to Boost Edge Browser
Microsoft issued a Windows update that broke a Chrome feature allowing users to change their default browser with a single click, annoying Chrome users with popups. The issue was worse for enterprise users, as the Windows default settings page would pop up every time they opened Chrome. Google had to disable the setting, which had made Chrome more convenient. Microsoft seems to have gone out of its way to break a Chrome feature that made life easier for users, as part of a pattern of behavior in the browser wars. This is not the first anti-competitive move from Microsoft in recent years, according to Mozilla's chief product officer.
