That said - behavioral marketing is simply evil and annoys the hell out of me, too, but I don't believe Apple would risk the backlash... @rizzn – I don’t disagree that it is annoying, but it is not the horror that it is made out to be by some.

That sort of bundling annoys the absolute crap out of me, the same way that iTunes tries to jam the horrible excuse for a codec called QuickTime down my throat every five minutes when they come out with a new iTunes version. And frankly, I think Apple is great and all, but even Google is in the spyware business these days (though the politically correct term for it these days is behavioral marketing, I think), so I can't make the blanket statement that I'd trust Apple not to be spying on my browsing habits.

They're definitely making it seem like Safari is spyware, when it's one of the best browsers out there. It's just an unexpected move from Apple & one you would associate moreso with Microsoft. lol YOU RIGHT!
