<mini-rant> Not to mention they add it as crapware in just about every application download. I can't even begin to count how many times I've had to uninstall Chrome & Chrome toolbar from cutomer & relatives systems simply because of their bundled crapware/malware. Granted that the user is *supposed* to opt out of the addition, but we all know (at least most of us here) that most people either ignore unchecking the box, or don't know enough to do so. It wouldn't be quite so bad, but Chrome makes itself the system browser (even in linux) whether you like it or not, installs browser toolbars that you don't want, and is simply malware IMO. Someone follows a link from a word processor, Adobe Reader, et al & up it pops in Chrome. They can't figure out how/why, call and you spend the next 30 minutes explaining what the issue is and eradicating the POS. In linux it's even harder to clean out. Chrome embeds itself as the primary browser, primary mime for http etc., and pollutes the system to the point that it can be difficult to eradicate if you don't know where to look. Reminds me of trying to uninstall Norton from Windows. </mini-rant> _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
