I'm saying that defaults matter a lot in technology and that offering an opt out is a cop out. Normal people won't even see the option.
- guelo 16y agoSo your whole beef with the article is that Apple/Microsoft/Google should ask whether to install the plugin but that the default answer should be no? ps. I'm a fan of ninite, not trying to attack you just confused by your objection.
- swies 16y agoIt's that asking users about something like this is only a solution for the most advanced users and a burden for everyone else. If something is generally useful it should be bundled without question, and if it's junk or obtrusive it should not. This should be judged from the average, non-technical user's perspective.
