I have seen this behaviour in users already, novices who use Google Chrome and accept every "Yes" dialog, regardless of the content. Of course, you do want to attract the power users who today use Chrome and Firefox and make them permanently switch to using Edge.Īt the same time, the novice users should be protected per default from installing the malicious extensions that will indeed be created at some point, given enough user base of the browser. The question is only when we are going to see this in the news and how it will impact Microsoft's reputation in the eyes of the general public. This means that malicious web browser extensions will get installed. This means that novice users who look for the "e" symbol in Windows is the kind of person who might say "Yes" to every dialog window that pops up when they use their computer. This is because the "standard web browser" in an OS is going to be attacked a lot more than other web browsers in terms of security if the user base of Windows 10 continues to climb in the rate it is doing right now. I am a bit torn between the positive and negative things extensions bring to a web browser.
