I initially only installed "Comodo Firewall" but for some reason they also installed a "Comodo Dragon Browser", which I did not consent to. I always choose the "advanced" installation to uncheck bloatware, but in this case there was none and when you try to uninstall the browser, they force you to participate in their survey otherwise you won't be able to uninstall the software..

why would you ever want to use a 3p firewall, especially something like Comodo?

Yeah Comodo and basically all other free AV or Firewall platforms are just voluntary malware.
Windows has a solid firewall and very good AV with defender already though, so the good news is you don't need any of that third party crap.
I thought about using comodo firewall a while back, but their software just seems so shady..
Years ago I used to use Comodo, but quit because each update felt like one step closer to sketchiness from them. I ended up finding Simplewall on github, (a nice, simple, straight to the point firewall) and never looked back.
I'll just choose the first option in such situations if I'm not given a chance to skip.

I think it's funny how it says "Uninstall feedback", like ... duh I'm not uninstalling the feedback
I feel like "Your software is bad and you should feel bad about it" covers most bases.
I wonder how much of their business has been absolutely ham-fucked by Let's Encrypt.
Instant wildcard SSLs for free vs. 100 or so a year from Comodo - every year.
Just name over 30 characters from tv shows or movies.
Is there no other way to purge the software? Doesn't Windows offer any alternate means to purge software, apart from wiping the drive clean?
That's good, I've always got plenty of feedback, when presented with this kind of bullshit.
I'm glad this era of software is over. I'm really far from full stallman approval but I still never have a reason to install software like this anymore.
I wouldn't trust that uninstaller to actually uninstall any of the malware that "firewall" installed. Purge the program directories manually.
If you are really angry at them, you should just write "I've switched to Norton/McAfee/other competitor for [ridiculous but plausible reasons]", depending on your creativity.
They definitely will read these and debate them since it's likely a corporate initiative from the top down.
