An add-on with a consumer-unfriendly opt-out mechanism.
- Dylan16807 11y agoYou have to opt-out of it existing. But it doesn't do anything unless you opt-in very strongly.
- totony 11y agoIt's like saying "installing x doesnt do anything until you execute it!" Its true, but if applied is stupid hard-drive wise. /flamewar
- Dylan16807 11y agoExcept when you execute it all it does is sit there asking you to register. And space-wise we're talking a couple kilobytes. You can't really have an opt-in without a point at which you ask the user about the option. The easily-removed button does that, the fact that it's not truly purged from the browser is a geeky detail that they're working on fixing.
