BillD Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Well, I never liked those extensions and add-ons that give you quick access to stuff anyway. I have never used them and don't intend to. The only ones I use relate to ad blocking!Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross549 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 In the truest sense of the word, I suppose they are. :(But here is the good part of the story... you have to manually install it yourself. The traditional definition of spyware is that the program installs without your knowledge, and "phones home" with your information in some form or another.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Fortunately, I don't use any of that ca-ca either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havnblast Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 about the only extension I use now a days is adblock with FF. I don't care for adblock plus as it goes a bit too wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V.T. Eric Layton Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I use quite a few extensions in FF, but I don't use any of those silly commercial toolbar extensions. Most of mine are purely utilitarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I know temmu uses SETI. I hope he doesn't have the SETI toolbar installed in linux. That one surprised me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webb Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 AMO has already recognized this problem and, as a result of the discussion cited in Bruno's post, has disabled all of these extensions.If you really want to ignore AMO's suggestions you could probably go way out of your way and go to the developers' websites so you could intentionally install spyware.

zlim Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) my bad, LOL.of course temmu you know marsden wouldn't touch FF so this talk of extensions would not concern him. He would only consider IE7 and later.If IE7 is so great, why doesn't MS make it available to 2K users? Could it be they are greedy for more money and want to force us to XP and Vista? I'm getting off that train at the next stop. Edited January 17, 2007 by zlim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
