Got to be honest. If the security team is all like "Install this extension. It'll help you with security" and then it's gonna pop up all sorts of crap, I'm going to uninstall your shitty extension and after that I'm going to treat any software from this so-called 'security' team as some Bonzibuddy crap.

Google or other tech companies don't allow you disable security extensions, otherwise that would defeat the purpose. It's installed by default.

Right but they also know how I feel about them so they know that I'll ignore all their messages after they've Bonzibuddied me for their pet crap. Then they'll know they've desecuritified that piece of their strategy. It will be ignored by all.

> Bonzibuddy crap

funny name to give to something on the grounds of an engineer in the team pushing for unionization

It isn't about the topic. Like if you tell me it's going to give me computer security tips and instead it's advocating for peace in the middle east I genuinely don't give a fuck. It's bonzibuddy crap. It's getting blacklisted.

I'd prefer you don't get fired for doing dumb shit like that because whatever, it's not going to kill someone, but I'm not going to use that team's adware shit anymore.

Oh wow, I just looked up Bonzibuddy and I guess I learned something today! :D

Sorry, I misunderstood this to allude to "Bonze" a German/French derogatory translating to "fat cat".

Haha, well, I guess I learned a new German derogatory term so it's a win-win all around :D
