The app automatically installs Bing Visual Search and includes code to decrypt cookies saved in other browsers, Rivera said, and it also brings a “free” geolocation web API to the system.
The developer discovered “many” nasty tricks Microsoft integrated in Bing Wallpapers, which include trying to change the browser’s settings and set Edge as the default system browser. If the default browser isn’t Edge, the app will open the default browser after some time asking to enable the previously installed Microsoft Bing Search for Chrome extension.
I get your perspective, but wouldn’t everyone involved also have to learn how to deal with macOS? Learning how to deal with Linux isn’t necessarily more complicated
Absolutely, but I’d rather deal with something that has widespread manufacturer and user support.
While I think there is lots of support for Linux, and I could figure it out. I don’t perceive that it is as wide spread as Mac OS.
Long story short I’m paying for the convenience.
