Still the user's call.

If the USER doesn't like it, the USER can uninstall it.
I agree, it is a choice to uninstall it. But there is a problem. Google is now, BY DEFAULT, being installed somewhat sneakily(just like scumware companies do) with other products.

And I find it very amusing that others are defending this practice. The very same people who did and would be screaming bloody murder when Verizon or Comcast did the same exact thing.

Does anybody remember the stink over Webroots decision to declassify 180 solutions as adware or malware?
Now does everyone see how this practice has become more prevelant on the web, even with the "Internet defenders" like google.
Take it even further TK, why is this in anyway acceptable when the NSA eavsdropping is not?

Malware and click stream data mining is ok as long as it's for marketing purposes, but use it to try and prevent disaster and look out!

Priorities people.

You should realize that the Zealots around here believe that Google can do no wrong. Obviously this effort is Google's attempt to save the Internet, one tool bar at a time.
