The new version of Internet Translator "Babylon" required installing a toolbar, the Google Custom Search and Change Home
Are Internet users translator renowned "Babylon" must install a toolbar and a custom search of Google, and change the home page and search page Babylon dictionary to use the new and free version of the software? Depending on where they download it.
Babylon last week launched version 10 of its translation software, first offered completely free. Babylon sells its software version Premium for consumers and commercial entities, while the free version to get money from collaboration with Google. The software installs a browser custom search google, and puts it on the home page and new tabs, when the user does a search and clicks on the ads, Google shares the revenue from them with Babylon.
"You must allow users functionality, Skip All"
Last December Babylon stock fell 11% following reports of changes in Google policies regarding advertising software that could have hurt revenues of Babylon. Changing conditions designed to deal with complaints of users of software used in questionable ways to install plugins as a search engine browser home page - like a check mark to installing plugins by default, hiding the fact that is being installed, and making it difficult road removal, like hiding the option of removal and display warning messages are false from damage removal.
These include the new rules that "give users a significant opportunity to check all the installation options available and change the system offered when downloading software" and "must allow users functionality 'Skip All' on offer first about all ads or offers in the software packaged" . It was assumed that changing conditions will reduce the number of users to confirm the installation and changes, resulting in less number of clicks on ads.
Surfer named Uri Babylon lowered age 10 from the company and tried to install it. On approval of terms and conditions were the search options to install the Babylon By default, the Start page and new tab page and search the Babylon dictionary and install the Babylon toolbar. Babylon treated fairly and options were not selected, but when Gil tried to move to the next screen, he got an error message: "Help us keep Babylon free! We ask that you install the toolbar of Babylon and make the search Babylon, default search engine, home page and new tabs all browsers. " Only a choice of three options allowed him to continue the installation.
Google articles present examples of prohibitions, including the prohibition on "ads or websites [...] do not give users a significant opportunity to make informed decisions about the installation, when you download software to your computer." Technically, Babylon given age a significant opportunity to make an informed decision - Install the software with plugins or give up on it. But it seems that even if this is not contrary to the language of Google's policies, it is contrary to his liking.
But this is not a blanket policy of Babylon. Apparently Babylon, like Google and other companies, are exploring innovation and change by presenting a limited number of users and check their reaction and behavior. Age caught Babylon experiment which examined what will users be charged to install the plugins. Babylon's right to credit, even if confirmed installing plugins, can be easily removed (and the company also purchased Google ads for those looking for how to remove them, which leads to an explanation of all types of browsers).
Those who do not want to deal with installing and removing additives can download Babylon 10 from download.com, where version allows installation without additives.
In Babylon refused to comment officially on the matter
