    @aral @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I wouldn’t call that one deceptive design tbh, it says what it is doing on the box, resetting the browser to its default state. That includes search engines and privacy settings. Resetting settings to defaults is a completely normal feature that many apps have, and can be useful for fixing issues.

        @aral @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I still dont consider this deceptive design. A prompt to reset is perfectly normal in programming, and it would be weird if they did not reset privacy settings with that. Resetting settings is resetting ALL settings. In fact, since resetting is often used for fixing issues you are having in your browser, resetting security settings is a good thing, since some of them can break sites.

          Shh! You’re messing up their bizarre soapbox interjection! They want everyone to switch back to chrome because they’d rather Google have access to your data instead
