It's not like the performance increase is subtle.
The five buttons you have to click, each saying 'I acknowledge that this software may set my computer on fire' before you can even run an installer on windows has really cut down on program installation by the unwashed masses- in short, I think you are wrong.
- mahmud 17y agoYou are forgetting what people had to cope with before. The new security popups are nothing compared to the abuse shareware has heaped on users. If the security warnings are discouraging people from installing new software, they would equally discourage Chrome and Safari installation. So this is not an issue. When it comes to web users, I lean towards them being "naive". You are free to hold a positive impression of the world as benchmarking enthusiasts :-)
- pavs 17y agoFor some reason you get no security warning when installing chrome on vista or windows 7. I have done this in several windows 7 machines, no popups no nothing, just accept terms and click install and chrome is installed. Can anyone else verify this? I am using dev builds, if that makes any difference.
