Dangerous! - walfrieda

Guy, don't complain about software if you, YOU, are to stupid to use it. GlimmerBlocker does what it says, and does it well. If you rely on a warning message telling you that you downloaded a program from the internet a few seconds after you did it - what does it tell about you? If you don't understand what a proxy is, why do you complain that if you install a new proxy program it is used by default? If you don't understand the preference settings of a program, why do you rate a program "dangerous"? Of course it is NOT dangerous - but using a computer without the slightest bit of understanding, yes, THAT is dangerous. Don't blame a useful and easy program for your own inability.

Dangerous! - supercrisp1

Brrrrp's objections strike me as absurd. I had no trouble figuring out GlimmerBlocker, and I wasn't in a patient mood, with a crying baby, a stack of forms to fill out, and a long list of Snow Leopard incompatibilities to sort out.

Do preference panes throw up a warning dialog? I don't recall. But I think that suggesting that the author of GB is intentionally circumventing such a warning seems quite paranoid.

It's freeware. If you don't like it don't use it. And I suppose that, if you must attack it, it's at least helpful to be at least recognizably a crank, as Barrrrp here is.

Attacked my cat - Cowicide

This thing got me too. After installing it, the program made my computer leap into the air and try to strangle my orange tabby. Thank God I was able to uninstall this app before it off'ed my Snuggles.
