   “Defaults don’t matter, you can just change them.”

   Really? Why do you think Google gives Mozilla HALF A BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR to be the DEFAULT search engine on Firefox if defaults don’t matter? Or give Apple £1.2 BILLION for the same in the UK alone?

   Think about it.

   Are they idiots?

   Or are you?
