Opera - naughty naughty!

I've just installed the latest version of Opera to check a technical point unrelated to this post. Without asking me it set itself up as my default browser, usurping the existing one (FF). I consider this a no-no. OK, it only takes a few clicks to restore the required default, but this is not the behaviour I would have expected from a well respected product. Even IE didn't do this!

If I remember correctly, before the installation there is a button you uncheck to say make opera the default browser?

Not that I noticed. There could have been, but all I saw was a check box for accepting their Ts&Cs .

Just downloaded it and clicked the .exe to install. The window has three buttons, options, accept and cancel.

If you click the option button, the box im talking about is located in there. I guess its assuming because you are installing it, its gonna be the main browser
