Google was always incorrectly viewed as a paragon.

In the comments its not just chrome that is affected.
Its apparently all Chromium browsers.
Cries in busy weekend and mod updates
In windows 10 you can reenable it, but you have dig a bit in the power management control panel to do so.
Its unfortunate that this thinking has bled over to Linux.
Im not saying use Edge or Bing.
I use firefox and admittedly Bing and DDG.
Im in the same boat as you, when 10 goes, Im going to go back to(see Vista Era) linux as much as possible.
That gap has flipped. Bing never told me to put glue on pizza or to jump off a bridge if depressed.
Why would anyone in 2024 honestly switch to google products.
They are worse than microsoft, and that takes effort.
Yes, I’ve been doing this for years. It’s great for both code readability as well as debugging.
Video support could be a “killer app” on threads to embrace and extinguish the fediverse.
No, not always. I know of a very major firm that uses google suite for everything but chat and video calls. They use MS Teams because its just that much better than google’s alternative. From the chats Ive had, the issue with Slack there is that someone high up in their IT stack hates it.
Best project Ive worked on, we went and implemented a scrict code standard, based on the code standard that a firm that contracted my team to do the work had.
Worked perfectly. Beautiful, maintainable code. Still used today without major reworks, doesnt need it. Front end got several major updates, but the back end uses what is now called microservice architecture, and we implemented it long before the phrase was common.
Got the opportunity to go back to it this year. Devs with the 2nd firm not only ignored all of the documentation we put out, they ignored their own coding standards document.
If nothing else, there is space for a competitor to MS teams in the corporate space.
Everyone else is ending up on teams, but no one actually likes it.
I’m simply saying what happens. For good or for ill.
Yeah but things get popular here, we tell our family and friends, they go out and tell people…
Because the inherent design of modern AIs is not deterministic.
Adding a progressively bigger model cannot fix that. We need an entirely new approach to AI to do that.
Well, there goes Toyota Quality. Looks like they’re going full Boeing.
Google has long since surpassed anything MS dreamed of doing.
Edit: to be clear, this article is that they’re blocking programs other than the control panel from changing the default browser.
Meanwhile, in Android, I’ve set Newpipe as the default app for YouTube videos. I have every single url for YouTube set to open in Newpipe. Still opens all YouTube video links in the YouTube app.
Google gets to do this on Android. Apple gets to do this on iOS.
The unfortunate reality is that MS is catching up to the bad apples in bad behaviour.
It reeks of a consultant who sold upper management via a gated demo.
