@aeva I see my dad roughly twice a year. Every time I uninstall Chrome and make FF the default browser. Every time I come back, Chrome is back on there and set as the default.

He doesn't know how it happens and he's not doing it on purpose and he doesn't want it (but doesn't realise it until I point it out). It's just a thing that is forced upon the tech-illiterate.

@aeva @eseilt i thing i have witnessed with older people using computers is a dialog pops up, and they just click "ok" to make it go away, without even reading it.

@mrsbeanbag @eseilt oh I do the same thing except I habitually click on the button that's semantically closest to "no" instead
