          Yes. Yes finally. I hate the Google suite of dumb duplicates that are inferior to what the OEM or independent devs can do. Always have to disable all apps completely. Heck Chrome still doesn't have extensions support and I fear their "adblocker" is only going to be used to kill the competition.

                      Some countries fined Microsoft for pre-installing Internet Explore in its Windows operating system.

                      And US wanted to split Microsoft into two companies. One company for the Windows OS and other for the Microsoft Office package. Because both were dominating computer industry at that time.

                              No please don't let oems set your default search I guarantee HTC would sell out to Baidu for a meager fee to keep them alive and they'd become the default search. Samsung would sell to yahoo, and at least Google is a good search engine.
