This is so stupid but really hard to avoid. Before I had a gz link and I knew I'd download, check Sha or signature, export path and ready.
Tried installing antigravity and it's this stupid thing. So I downloaded a large script, read a lot of it, didn't find something easy to put together to figure out what binary to download. Took me quite some time to install something that should have taken 2 minutes.
Ah and I'm told it auto upgrades. Great, now I have a back door too.
Replace this tool with basically anything, because pages don't have download links anymore. Soon there will be nothing published in curated repos like brew, nix, debían etc
