I initially only installed “Comodo Firewall” but for some reason they also installed a “Comodo Dragon Browser”, which I did not consent to. I always choose the “advanced” installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won’t be able to uninstall the software…

        I think even then, they’d recognize fast that it’s just fake text. For maximum impact, get an LLM to generate a long winded but realistic sounding response. It’ll probably be obvious eventually that it was an LLM because their writing style is so distinct, but it takes much longer to recognize.

      I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

          Title: A Meandering Exploration of Comodo Dragon Browser: A Chimerical Conundrum

          Introduction:

          In the intricate tapestry of the digital realm, where information surges with fervor and curiosity dances with possibility, one seeks a companion, a guide, a vessel through which to traverse the vast expanses of the internet. Enter Comodo Dragon Browser, an enigmatic entity that beckons with promises of security, speed, and serenity. Here, dear reader, we embark upon a verbose voyage, delving into the ethereal depths of this browser, attempting to unravel its enigmatic essence. Prepare yourself for a verbose reverie of words, meandering through the alleys of ambiguity, while occasionally punctuating the prose with polysyllabic gems.

          Aesthetics and Design:

          At first glance, Comodo Dragon Browser presents a visage that lies betwixt the ethereal and the prosaic, as if forged from the finest digital artisans of our time. Its interface, a symphony of pixels, harmonizes with the eye, bathed in a palette that dares to meld the hues of timeless elegance with the whispers of modernity. The layout, though not without its quirks, resembles a labyrinthine jigsaw puzzle, each piece interlocking with meticulous precision. Yet, beneath the facade of grandeur, one finds a maelstrom of conflicting sensibilities, resulting in a paradoxical amalgamation of charm and convolution.

          Performance and Speed:

          Like a sprightly stallion galloping through the verdant meadows of technological prowess, Comodo Dragon Browser embraces the mantle of swiftness with ardor. Its load times, akin to the blink of a myopic owl, are nothing short of astounding. Alas, despite its relentless quest for celerity, the browser occasionally stumbles upon obstacles, a tangled web woven by the whims of fate. This fickle dance between promptness and perplexity, though poetic in its own right, might leave the user yearning for a more consistent experience.

          Security and Privacy:

          In the labyrinthine world of online vulnerabilities, Comodo Dragon Browser emerges as a valiant sentinel, brandishing its shield of security with resolute determination. It pledges to guard your digital footsteps from prying eyes and shadowy hackers, imparting a sense of calm amidst the chaos. Encryption, firewalls, and safeguards, all woven together with the deftness of a digital tapestry artist, form the backbone of this browser’s security arsenal. However, like the unpredictable whispers of the wind, a sense of doubt persists, as if the gates of privacy might not be as impregnable as they purport to be.

          Features and Customization:

          Comodo Dragon Browser, much like the mythical chameleon, adapts to the whims of its user, offering a myriad of features and customization options. From tab management to ad-blockers, from password managers to incognito modes, the browser is a cornucopia of digital tools that empowers the user with a sense of control. Nevertheless, amidst the plethora of possibilities, a confounding labyrinth emerges, an intricate mosaic of bewildering menus and options, leaving the user to navigate a convoluted path in pursuit of simplicity.

          Conclusion:

          In the grand tapestry of digital browsers, Comodo Dragon Browser stands as an enigmatic figure, its allure intertwined with a mosaic of contradictions. It beckons with its elegant aesthetic, tantalizes with its promise of speed and security, and captivates with its plethora of features. Yet, beneath the veneer of charm lies a complex web of ambiguity, occasionally entangling the user in a quandary of convolution. Ultimately, the choice to embark upon this esoteric expedition rests with the discerning user, who must decide whether the allure of Comodo Dragon Browser’s chimerical conundrum is a siren’s song or a symphony worth embracing.

          There once was a browser called Comodo

          That promised to be fast and modo

          But it was so slow and full of woe

          That it made its users go loco

                If you hold any data about people in Europe then that falls under GDPR, regardless of what the data is. It does get more complex if they data is sensitive or confidential.

    I seen people suggesting comments like “fuck you” over and over again, but I would actually reply with an actual lecture on how it’s immoral to install a secondary software with a primary software install. Be very explicit.

    They’ll probably not care about your comments, but at least they’ll know why you uninstalled, and have it as a data point. And if enough of their customers do the same thing, then they may change policy about it.

    About forcing the need to leave a comment when you’re trying to uninstall that secondary software, I think that’s happening just because you selected the ‘other’ option, and unfortunately that’s something of a standard with these kind of question dialogs.

      If you give them data points you’re rewarding the behavior. You shouldn’t have to give any response because the reason you’re uninstalling is none of the software developers business. So OP had the option of giving a canned response, or saying “other”, but won’t except “other” without some explanation of what the “other” reason is. Which is none of their fucking business.

        Yeah sorry, feel you’re wrong on this one, and cannot agree.

        Telling them they’re fucking up is a data point that they need to hear, so they could potentially stop doing that.

        Even if they don’t stop, they have to take the time to parse that data point to try to understand it, which limits the resources they have the process other data points that may make them more profit.

          If you give an exploitative company information, they are not going to use that information to make their company better, they’re going to use that information to improve their grift. They won’t end their exploitation, they’ll only learn how to reduce your resistance to their exploitation. Any information you give them will only be used against you or people like you. Best to avoid it entirely and just tell them to fuck themselves twenty times in a row. They’ll still have to parse the response, and it’s impossible for them to exploit or misunderstand it.

      the lemmy way of linking a community is like this: !assholedesign@lemmy.world. i assume, at least, because there are supposedly other communities by the same name on different servers, so this is both unambiguous and works well for people not on the same instance as the server
