Well, I'm thoroughly bummed. I have been using SiteAdvisor for many moons, now, since it was mentioned somewhere here on this forum. Loved it. A really great product.
Well, apparently McAfee recently purchased it, and it was 'downloaded and installed' as a FireFox update this evening. Don't really care who owns it, but they've changed things. When I go to *enlarge* a picture on any website, their toopid green button appears at the bottom of the enlarged picture -- RIGHT IN THE FRIGGIN MIDDLE OF EVERY WEB PAGE !!!
I am not amused. Why can't they just keep their silly SiteAdvisor button at the bottom of the browser where it belongs -- and not slam it into the reading section of web pages?? I wrote them a pointed letter and told them just exactly what I thought of their having changed things from pleasantly passive to extremely annoying. Not a happy camper anymore. I HATE so-called enhancements!!! Why can't wonderfully working products just be left alone?
