A good rule of thumb is: Would the users do it to themselves? It think that's pretty easy to guess. Would the users try to make themselves not run the browser

A good rule of thumb is: Would the users do it to themselves? It think that's pretty easy to guess.
Would the users try to make themselves not run the browser they want to run? No.
Would the users try to avoid malware? Yes.
- nousermane 5y agoBy that logic, antivirus on my employer's laptop is malware too? Assuming I don't care for it being installed and sometimes am mildly annoyed when it hogs the CPU every now and then.
- robalni 5y agoThat's not your laptop so you don't decide what should run on it. (When I said user I really meant owner)
- gjsman-1000 5y agoWhat about DRM? Is it malware? Is it needed to run because the game publisher said so?
- rhn_mk1 5y agoThe problem with that is that malware is different things for different people. Location trackers for insurance. A virus under research. A remote access tool. DRM. An outdated but working driver. A non-encrypted messaging tool. A cryptocurrency miner.
