Installed Chrome to my Kubuntu 12.10 system on my laptop. when i opened it today, was browsing this forum and suddenly a tab appeared telling me 'Adblock Plus has been installed'
First of all, i did NOT choose to install Adblock Plus. Secondly, i am not the kind of person who appreciates things installing on my devices without my explicit permission. Now, i have taken great adjustment periods to get used to Android having control over all my apps and which run and which do not (which i still personally desire control over and am a bit uncomfortable with auto-memory management even today) but when apps themselves install things behind my back then tell me i feel violated. is there a setting somewhere to disable this? Chrome has never done this kind of thing on Windows, Android or iOS
