Surely the default search engine in internet explorer in your prefix would have changed.

Default search engine changes because of reasons. Money reasons. Money reasons fueled by the product (user).

Before you paid for “free” software with your data, you used to pay by agreeing to install a search bar in your browser. Usually you just uninstalled it directly afterwards. Not this guy though.

This kind of thing is what got me into actually reading install wizards instead of clicking next, next, agree, next, yes, install, finish. I learned I could just uncheck those agree/install boxes and still install the software I actually wanted without all the extra crap. That’s one trend from the 00s and early 10s I do not miss.
