We’ve complained about this to Google many times to no avail. It’s very frustrating. They are literally paid money to let people install malware on your machine. Please direct all annoyance and resentment to them (we share it).

Firstly, Mike, thank you for all you've done with HomeBrew - an amazing product. None of my ire was directed at you or HomeBrew.

I am so frustrated at Google, not just for this incident, but for many reasons (like their inexplicable shutdown of my own Adsense account years ago, and their neglect of several products I'd built against or bought). When they act, they leave us with no recourse. I feel anxious being dependent on them, even for simple stuff like my email account.

They are sufficiently big that they no longer care about the little guy anymore. They are only interested in swallowing up all the World's data and cashing in on Workspace.
