In my opinion these examples are mere annoyances compared to the evil of the skype plugin. It actively monitors and modifies all of your browsing so it can inject those green skype "call" buttons in unexpected places. Now that I call evil.

Funny thing though. Some people that aren't as aware have nothing but praise about this plugin. I once built a web app that displayed customer phone numbers. The client using the app called me one day to thank me for integrating skype into the app. I had to convince him I was a good developer even though I didn't put Skype into his app.
