I've been a longtime Firefox user and advocate, but recently I've begun to
transition to Chrome.  (If anyone cares, I'll happily discuss the thought
process that could pull a near 180 reversal, that I thought could never
happen.)

 

One thing I've noticed:  If I go to the chrome download page,
http://www.google.com/chrome and I want to download the installer and save
it on my network share .  I just click the "Download" button, and then click
"Accept and Install" .

 

No security warning, No download dialog, No plugin installation, No nothing.
It simply launches the installer magically.  It goes directly from "I'm
looking at a harmless webpage" to "Now I'm running an installer on your
computer."  And that creeps me out.

 

Heebie Jeebies.  I feel like there's a million ants and creepy crawlies on
my skin.    Brrrrbbrbbrrrr...

 

Anyone else have the same thing?  I don't suppose it's just me.
