In early August 2025, on my Windows11 laptop, I happened to dscover that my default browser, Google Chrome, was no longer my default browser. It was now Microsoft Edge.
I did not chnage it. I was not asked if I wanted to shange my chosen and set default browser, Chrome, to Microsoft Edge. If I did not accidently come across the change I would never have known about it. I reset my browser preference to Google Chrome.
Who did it? Who changed my default browser withot my permission? Not me. Certainly not Google. Probably not the manfacturer, HP. I have not been hacked. My browser choice has been hijacked but I have not been hacked. Who did it? Who chamged my browser preference? Who took over my computer and made changes I did not want or agree to?
The likely cultprit is Microsoft.
