  So many toolbars while in reality you need only one…

    The OS equivalent of having licked the train station toilet.

    Before you paid for “free” software with your data, you used to pay by agreeing to install a search bar in your browser. Usually you just uninstalled it directly afterwards. Not this guy though.

      This kind of thing is what got me into actually reading install wizards instead of clicking next, next, agree, next, yes, install, finish. I learned I could just uncheck those agree/install boxes and still install the software I actually wanted without all the extra crap. That’s one trend from the 00s and early 10s I do not miss.

        This has kind of come around full circle… Video games went from what you described to literally just not letting you start the game until you approved every EULA that popped up before the main menu.

        They got us so used to just clicking OK because we knew the only alternative was not playing the game at all.

        Now they have several types of EULAs at the start of a game, and usually the "data sharing’ one is separated out and not needed to be approved in order to start the game (probably thanks the GDPR if I had to guess off hand). But people have gotten so conditioned to the idea of “just click OK over and over so I can start playing” that they don’t realize there’s two separate EULAs there, and only one is required to be accepted to play the game.
