Argh! Chrome! Go away!

Google's pushing their pet browser with the relentlessness of a drug seller, which makes me more and more suspicious of it by the day. Now they're trying to insert it as opt-out "goodies" with program updates... In this case, Skype presented me with a "push this to not override your default browser settings with Chrome why don't you want Chrome are you a terrorist*" button. This puts it right down with Yahoo Toolbar, Hotbar, those pushy mini-Norton and mini-McAffee things, and MyWebSearch for pushy malware/adware in my opinion.

* Dramatization.

NAME

       popbugs - find RC bugs in packages you commonly use

SYNOPSIS

       popbugs [options] [popularity-contest log]

DESCRIPTION

       The  popbugs  program fetches the list of release critical bugs from the Debian bug tracking system on the internet.  It correlates the bug
       log with the popularity-contest data from your system to obtain a list of release critical bugs in packages, which  are	commonly  used	on
       your  system.   Normally  this  list  is displayed in a web browser.  Helping to resolve these bugs is a good idea, if you want to see your
       favourite programs in the next stable release of Debian.

OPTIONS

       -h

       --help Show a very short usage message.

       -ooutputfile

       --output=outputfile
	      Place the output in outputfile instead of displaying it in a browser.

       -d

       --debug
	      Output debugging information.

SEE ALSO

       rc-alert(1), popularity-contest(8)
