Just when you thought ads couldn't get more annoying. Now there's a plan to release software which modifies the browser itself, to varying degrees of brutality. Mitigating features allowing the user to turn it back off are being included, but this doesn't change the fact that without any permission from the user, their software will be seriously hacked. Changing the scrollbar colours is one thing. Changing the rest of the browser is another. "Intrusive" just doesn't cover it.
