On: Fuck It, I'm Going Back to Firefox

[justcommenting]

My experience with relatives' computers has been that trying to completely remove Chrome from Windows is a lot like trying to remove a rootkit, specifically one that phones home a lot.

If any other company did those sorts of things in persisting pieces of their software all over the OS without easy removal for non-technical users, people would be calling it malware or spyware.

Interesting, what specifically are you having trouble with?

I would think it just uninstalls. Are you claiming otherwise? I'd love to try and reproduce what your claims are (fact check).

A bunch of adware reinstall it actually, because they get money from Google for that. On a clean system its pretty simple to uninstall.

the main reason why I never switched to Chrome is the Google process that is always running whether you are currently using Chrome or not.. but I don't think I had any issues uninstalling it a few years ago
