@RichFelker@ch3root@hanno Who would sue them? -
@BRIAN_____@ch3root@hanno If they installed a modified ver of the branded browser in violation of the TM policy, the browser vendor would. -
@BRIAN_____@ch3root@hanno Also all anti-malware tools would be justified in calling them malware for doing this. It's about perception. -
