The head of Mozilla Byrd has written to the Director General Microsoft the Satya Nadella’s open letter in which he expressed dissatisfaction with the scheme change browser in Windows 10. We are talking about that in the new OS, the company accidentally or intentionally complicated the choice of a standard web browser.
As stated by bird, now the user need to do twice as many mouse clicks to have a deeper technical knowledge than was the case with previous versions of the OS. To make Firefox the default browser, it has to skip to a new page of settings, and it “is confusing, the user is difficult to navigate and easy to get lost,” said Byrd.
To demonstrate such a confusing process, in Mozilla even recorded a 30-second video tearing off the veil with the new policy of Microsoft. A new approach called “aggressive action to influence the choice of users.”
“The process is specifically designed so that consumers have abandoned their preferences when working with the Internet in favor of what they impose on Microsoft”, — said the head of Mozilla. He noted that previously applied to the Redmond Corporation with this problem, but then the dialogue has failed. This fact forced him to write an open letter to Nadella.
“Changes not disturb us because we are the developers of Firefox, and because there are millions of people who like Windows, but the choice of which is ignored,” the statement says.
In response to this letter, the representative of Microsoft said that the choice of default browser is not at all complicated even after you upgrade to Windows 10. After an upgrade, users can easily choose the default application for all its challenges, believe in Redmond. If we according to users realize that some aspects require improvement, we will do”.
Firefox, according to Net Applications, is the third most popular app to work with the Internet in the world with a share of 12 %. The second was Google Chrome — it preference given to 27.2% of users, and remains the leader Internet Explorer, controlling 58.1 per cent of the market for web browsers.
