I initially only installed "Comodo Firewall" but for some reason they also installed a "Comodo Dragon Browser", which I did not consent to. I always choose the "advanced" installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won't be able to uninstall the software..

    Doesn't matter if you volunteered it, they still have to treat it responsibly.

    Wait a minute, you're saying that in every web input field I develop, I have to create checks to make sure the entered value isn't personal data? Boy, that will add quite a bit of work.
