FYI: Chrome did the same thing with the OS Security.
On Windows and on most OSs, software is installed in a location that the standard user doesn't have write access to, and you require root/admin authorization to install. Chrome bypasses the OS security by installing itself in a way so that it can auto-install software/updates without the explicit consent of the user. If all software did this, it would soon be a security nightmare.
