#Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop

@matthiasott thank you for the details and full context!
Using a browser is getting really exhausting… since Chromium doesn’t do this; I am hoping that either this gets “fixed”, so that explicit permission is requested the first time, or the other vendors that build their browsers on top of Chromium fix it at least for their products since these companies keep touting “privacy” as a differentiating factor.
@macronaut @matthiasott Dont use chromium based browsers! Also firefox sells your data (if anyone can add some, im using qwant right now)
