Pet Peeve #2: Install Safari

Written on April 7, 2008

Install Safari

Okay, so I gave in years ago and switched to iTunes instead of Winamp (which I think was way better in terms of giving you freedom to listen to and organize your music as you saw fit) since I figured it made more sense to use with my iPod.

I don’t regret it, but now when I get these “update available” notices for iTunes & Quicktime, they’re also trying to get me to install Safari for PC! I don’t want to fucking install Safari… now or ever. I’m more than happy with Firefox. Yet every update I have to go through this stupid process.

It’s so fucking annoying. Does this remind you of anyone? (ahem… Microsoft!)

They’re all the same, in case you didn’t notice. I have to agree with Grimes on this one… they’re all evil… Apple, Microsoft, whoever.

Would it really be that hard or such a paradigm shift to give me the option to not only NOT install Safari, but never be asked if I want to install it again?  Same thing goes for all the dumb Microsoft shit in Windows updates… like, dude, I have Outlook installed… I don’t want your fucking Outlook Express updates.

    Go to the Update menu. Choose “Ignore Updates”. Enjoy a fine cup of Taster’s Choice.
