Exactly. Making Edge my default browser is opt-in too, but that doesn't stop them from bugging me about it regularly or switching it any time they think they can.

I'm loving Linux Mint since I switched. It's nice to have an operating system that isn't trying to subvert my choices every day.

Edge is opt-out though. It's your default from the beginning until you change it by installing a different browser.

Good point. I always install Firefox immediately and change it.
