So I’m installing Internet Explorer 7 on my PC so I can test Common Kitchen on a multitude of browsers, and the first time I run the program I see one of those little bubbles pop up from the system tray:
WHOA! What just happened? Microsoft tried to underhandedly change my default search engine (to Live.com no doubt), and then Google thought they would help me out by monitoring attempts to change that setting. I appreciate the sentiment, but I honestly don’t remember telling Google they could do that.
Turns out this is part of the “Google Toolbar” package and I missed it in all the fine print. In my book, both companies are awfully close to evil here…
