I suspect it would be possible to make a distro that had all you needed to run Firefox, and the whole distro would compile quicker than that shit.

And it wouldn't complain during startup about some ICU bullshit and abort like the pussy Chromium is.

I also hate that there is no true alternative to uTorrent 2.2.1 aside from rTorrent, which pretty much requires ruTorrent.

Because Adobe Flash is a buggy, unsecure piece of s..oftware, even when updated regularly.

As for Creative Cloud, it's a mixed bag. I don't mind the subscription model, but what really ticks me off is all the bloatware installed even with one Adobe application.

This fucking shit. People who don't use a real antivirus are the reason there are so many viruses because they get the virus and then they spread it to everyone else. You should not be allowed on the Internet without an up-to-date antivirus.

There was a study made on how people use their PCs expecially security-wise, I can't find it now, but usually A/V software is used by tech illiterates. People who know how to use a PC don't need an antivirus. Was presented in a SecurityNow podcast, and even Steve Gibson is against them.

Anything made in Java sucks ass. That's why I don't even have Java installed on my PC.

Gimp also sucks, tried it a few times and just uninstalled, it was too bad.

Skype, the only reason I ever used it was because other normies used it. Now there is really no reason to use it anymore, with so many alternatives.

Dreamweaver, another useless piece of software made by Adobe just because they want to diversify their reach as much as possible.

Internet Explorer, pls outlaw this piece of shit. Nobody should be allowed on the internet using IE.

Sure you could use toilet paper. But you'd be a retard to do so as better specifically-made-for-just-that objects (i.e., a canvas) already exists.

It seems the general consensus is Adobe Flash, and rightfully so. It may very well be the #1 cause of malware infection, possibly rivaled by email phishing but that's not a specific piece of software.
