I love Digsby. And I seem to recall it always offered to change my search provider and home page.

Whatever the case, the software more than makes up for those offers. Heck, all the Piriform stuff makes similar offers for toolbars and such, and I wouldn't give up CCleaner or Defraggler.

There's a difference between clearly offering you extra options during the install, and hiding them in an updater like Apple did. I'm perfectly fine with Digsby's approach.

Although I do find downloaders kind of annoying. Sometimes I want to install something on a computer with a slow connection from my flash drive.
