Maybe its not a terrible browser, but first impressions count for a lot. To even use the browser for the first time you need to sit through their sales pitch (for anyone who has installed windows recently, you'll understand that all the popups and so on take much longer than you'd expect). They practically beg you not to use another browser.
All this I'd say fine to. They have mistakes of the past to fix, and want people to give them a chance. Maybe not ideal, but the first time I saw this, I thought fair enough, I'll give them a chance.
As soon as you do that and cave to them, the first thing they ask for is all your data, with a massive obstrusive banner that's of course intentionally difficult to say no to. Not even Chrome is so brazen as that. You give them an inch and they take a yard
