I'm seeing some people posting shit like "help your family this Thanksgiving by logging onto their computer switching their default browser from X to Y" and: PLEASE DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS.
Do not switch them from Edge to Chrome. Do not switch them from Chrome to Firefox.
Literally, these are different software environments with different features and access to different data, and if they suddenly cannot log into their bank because they saved their password in Edge, you have just fucked them.
