What if Firefox or Safari also follow, as they did with a lot of previously unwanted changes?
"I'll be seriously reconsidering IE before the next Firefox/Safari release"?
Browser "choice" has always been more an illusion than anything else. One or another may be a little further ahead than the others but they all appear to be heading down the locked-down, unconfigurable, opaque, user-hostile "consume and don't oppose" path.
If you want to get away from all that, then I suggest looking into the more obscure alternative browsers like Dillo, NetSurf, etc.
