When I was younger I would do computer repair and maintenance for friends and family. The deal was I didn't charge them and they let me set the computer up to be more secure and useful. Back in the XP days I used a Winsock32 Fix to replace a section of the registry to remove malware before installing an antivirus I chose. Regardless of what else I did, I would install Mozilla (later Firefox) and change the icon in Windows to be that of Internet Explorer. Later, with newer versions of Windows, I would change the icon to open Chrome. Eventually, everyone switched to using Chrome and I stopped having to do this. Strange how I now need to change the Chrome icon to open Firefox or Brave if I keep volunteering my time. No way will I use Chrome out of the box nor will I let others use it if they want my help.
