Aside from when I need Photoshop, I've been using my Chromebook 80% of the time & loving it but over the last year, I've had 3-4 family members and friends ask me to help them remove toolbars/search helpers and other shit they downloaded by mistake while installing a legit piece of software on a Windows box.<p>The industry should have evolved beyond this practice by now. I'm sure there's a less invasive profit center.<p>This practice specifically preys on the less tech savvy. Not cool... It seems like reputable companies would distance themselves from the practice but some of the most popular software still tries to get you to opt-in via a strategically placed checkboxes or misleading question. It's time for us to stop accepting this. Our parents, kids and friends deserve better.<p>Thoughts?
