No, I wont' ditch it. It's the best browser out there, right now, since scummy/corrupt/hypocrite Mozilla (which, remember, is in bed with Google, Amazon and Facebook while criticizing them) decided that Firefox is just a side project for them and they're deceiving people making them believe that donations fund FF development.
Don't even bother to reply. I'm not going to fuel this shitty thread any further.
It's still a behavior like "we are the best software in the world, once we get admin permission we can do whatever we want without additional user consent, people appreciate it".
No. You must ask permission to install useless Windows services, even if they're disabled.
