I think in the long run, it's probably a bigger PITA to have to
click all the "No, I don't want it" buttons than it is to just
download the stupid thing, because it's become quite
ubiquitous, even if most of what it displays is advertising
and crap unnecessary website introductions.

It's also great for games.
