Its not sketchy just lazy. One observation i have made eith anthropic is that they are great at amking a model but louzy at app development. There apps tend to have that “scientist learned python to help them at work” vibe. Which is always a security nightmare.
I disagree, it’s definitely sketchy. Going out of your way to install the messaging host for a half dozen different Chromium forks is going out of your way do something behind the user’s back; it’s the opposite of lazy.
I imagine it’s more of a vibe-coded “make sure the end users have all the files they’ll need to be ready to go” prompt, and it’s Claude that “decided” to just have all the files from the get-go
Is that not what we were doing? I’m not disagreeing that it’s scummy that they’re installing unnecessary files, just speculating that’s it’s ineptitude rather than malicious. Hanlon’s Razor and all that. Considering the downvotes on my comment I may have misread your comment.

i think a lot of their stuff is ai coded.
That’s not really relevant to the point I’m making.

Ah yes let’s wildly speculate about how they may or may not be writing software.

I think that’s too generous. As if they didn’t think about this.
