Unkillable software also has a very high bar for quality. That means among other things that it needs to be a good citizen on my computer and have pristine quality control. Keystone is neither and never has been. With great power comes great responsibility, and Google blew it.
- dmix 7y agoPlus it's one thing to be difficult for malware to kill and another for it to be impossible to disable for privacy or maintenance reasons. It's a tradeoff that favours Google and imposed by the unilaterally. I could think of a few ways this could be addressed without forcing it. Such as detection from the browser app when it's not available.

- monocasa 7y agoFirefox's updater breaks significantly more than Google's.
- manicdee 7y agoIt might break more often but it doesn’t break my stuff like Google does.
- dralley 7y agoHow often does it break your computer?
- monocasa 7y agoI'm saying that for a lot of people, hard breaking their computer might be the better option compared to stop updating CVEs and stealing everything the person owns.
