I've never seen an operating system that comes with Chrome and that's the point here, we all get it, we don't have to install it, it just works.

So they've copied an innovation that Google implemented years ago (not the first time mind you and certainly not the last!), how have you managed on Safari all this time with our this feature?

Jon, you've been able to get extensions for Chrome and Safari that attempt to do the same thing for years, what you're failing to understand is this isn't an add on that you download it's part of Preview, another great innovation from Apple.

It's called options, something Apple usually fails to deliver. As Windows hasn't come with a Browser for years, who are you going to compare it to? Android, that's what, and Android often comes with Chrome pre-installed now.

I had it and turned it off as it gets annoying.

Windows doesn't come with a browser, LOL. I think you used a browser to get your browser.

I have every option you have and more.

It comes with a choice of browser at install, didn't realise Apple included that option as well, thought they just fobbed you off with Safari.

Pretty sure the courts decided that Explorer was so **** that alternatives were needed, and you still needed to use IE to download it.

I hear Windows 10 is even more like OS X, that's good thing.
