The current offline installers is a silent installer which works in background and user doesn't see any UAC prompt.
BRAVEOFFLINE INSTALLER FULL
You didn't explain why there has to be a stub installer, and why it is so vitally important to have one by going so far as to removing the full installers from any plain sight. If we cannot find any other reason than that, please stop doing it. That maybe it seems jolly or whatever to "hide" the full installer behind a program that downloads it for you. It seems to me, that this is simply a trend and nothing more. It means: if they do something, do you blindly follow them, whether it is a good persue or not? Chrome and Firefox do provide full installers.Ī Dutch saying: if they jump into a ditch, would you too? Only some browsers seem to be against providing full installers, like Opera. Almost every program out there is provided by downloading a full installer. To oppose your statement: as far as I know, almost no program provides stub installers and no full installers.
A stub installer requires blind trust, which cannot reasonably be expected. And about the "securely" thing: in a real browser, the user has the ability to verify whether the connection is secure (or secure enough for their needs). The only exception where full installers are "impossible", is Edge. They can be reached by two or three extra clicks. Most browser vendors provide full installers, but not prominently. Its always a stub installer that securely connects and downloads the setup and installs it. There is no difference between downloading a stub, and downloading a full installer from the user's perspective.Īs far as I know none of the leading browsers provide offline installers. Their (current) browser is perfectly capable of downloading a file, and there is absolutely no reason why a stub installer has to do that for them. If the user can download a stub, they can also download the full installer. User has the choice when running the stub installer to continue installing with elevated privileges or not.Īll the less reason to have a stub installer in the first place.
