For my "convenience" and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait
Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???
You're viewing a single thread.
It is literally asking you for your permission if I understand the post.
In my case it said something like "you apparently don't know how great our search bar is, so we reactivated it. You can disable it again if you want to"
I see now.
yes but it's opt-in instead of opt-out. If i click on the desktop it's dismissed and the search bar setting is reverted to their preferred setting. If really needed, should have been the opposite like "did you know that you missed out on the latest spambar? Click here to make the change permanent"
Ok. So it still wasn’t forced?
users never change default settings. So, for all the people where i removed the bar, they got it back with this update

It's the equivalent of asking "Would you like to cancel? Are you SURE you'd like to cancel? Are you REALLY sure? Take a look at our new features and make sure you'd actually like to not cancel. You said yes - so you'd like to not cancel? Okay!"
An extremely forceful and dishonest way to keep people on the feature. Should require just one No to permanently keep it off.
