Re: Can I stop apps from opening other apps? What of not having a default browser at all?
On that note though, if you had a default browser then you would have to set specifics for the browser but then it could break your web viewing too.
Would blocking sites either in the browser of the hosts file stop communications back to home once you go to install software?
Would messing with cookie settings help? Although I would think you would need to start white-listing sites and you would forget and sooner or later cause you more problems than it is worth.
I actually remember at one time I had Opera set to prompt for opening a new session, I would have to look again at what I did - a few years ago - but it would not allow the session to open without a prompt, I'm sure that could be applied via any browser and a registry setting or an .ini file.
