- JohnTHaller 9y agoGoogle is paying the app makers for the bundleware per install.
- josteink 9y agoWhen other companies are doing this, we're usually pretty quick to call it by a different name: spyware, malware. Bundleware makes it sound like it's just some innocent "bloat", while in reality this effectively hijacks all web traffic of innocent users and sends it to Google. How is this not criminal?
