Core Points - The founder of AirUP, Chen Haiying, criticized Baidu Cloud Disk on social media for allegedly altering the default image viewer on Windows computers without user consent [1][3] - The issue was discovered when Chen found that images could not be opened normally, leading to the identification of a plugin called "Smart Image Viewer" that took over the default image opening settings [3] - This plugin was installed quietly and does not include "Baidu" in its name, making it easy for users to mistakenly select it as the default option [3] - Baidu Cloud Disk introduced the "Smart Image Viewer" feature on July 1, with an upgrade on August 21 that added local and cloud image browsing, as well as basic and AI editing capabilities [3] - The incident has sparked widespread discussion among users, prompting them to check if their default image viewer has been altered [3]
