Ik heb een korte vraag, is het mogenlijk om wel gebruik te maken van smiley central, maar niet van die afschuwelijke mywebsearch??

Als je Smiley Central installeert, ga je onder andere akkoord met het volgende:

ALL OF OUR APPLICATIONS COME WITH THE MY WAY SPEEDBAR™ OR MY WEB SEARCH™ BROWSER PLUGIN -- EACH OF WHICH IS A CUSTOMIZABLE BROWSER TOOLBAR WHICH PROVIDES END USERS WITH EASY ACCESS TO SEARCH RESULTS FROM THE BEST SEARCH ENGINES ON THE INTERNET IN JUST ONE CLICK AND ENHANCES YOUR BROWSER EXPERIENCE BY PROVIDING RELEVANT LINKS AND RESULTS IN RESPONSE TO MISSPELLED OR INCORRECTLY FORMATTED BROWSER ADDRESS REQUESTS.

Verder accepteer je onder meer het volgende:

In connection with the delivery of search services and content, the Application does communicate with our servers and use cookies.

The Application, in the course of processing a given search query, sends a request to our servers. This request includes the keyword query, time of day, browser type, default language setting, IP address, an anonymous unique ID, and a code which identifies the distribution source of the Application used by you to conduct your search. If the search query is being generated as the result of a misspelled URL or search term entered in to the browser address bar, we also receive the misspelled URL address or search term. We use this information in order to properly process your search request. For example, this data provides us with: information on which language you prefer to use; aggregated click information for the purpose of ensuring that our search partners are appropriately compensating us; information that allows us to make accurate payments to our distributors; aggregated usage and retention information; and aggregated search query information for the purpose of further monetizing commercially oriented search keywords.

[...]

The Application also sends a configuration request when you start your browser. This request is approximately 5k in size and includes only anonymous data such as IP address, browser type, and information about the specific release date and distribution source of your Application, as outlined above.

De complete EULA kun je hier lezen.

Je moet het natuurlijk helemaal zelf weten, maar ik raad je de installatie van deze rotzooi ten stelligste af.

Ja bedankt, jammer, want er zitten wel leuke plaatjes bij, hopelijk komt er gauw een beter alternatief voor
