I'm not OK with software messing with my other software.

I install Office because I need it, not because I think it and everything else Microsoft has made is the best thing ever.

Lets not pretend browsers are like other software. They are essentially a VM that can run remote untrusted code.

Software has changed the start page, search providers, and installed plugins into browsers for a very long time, this is nothing new.
