You should check out brew and brew cask if you're on a mac.

You can install Chrome/Firefox from the command line, atom, etc. Very simple and convenient.

I know about Brew.

Brew's philosophy is "I know you have a powerful multi-user UNIX workstation, with literally decades of best practices about user permissions, installing software etc, but just for lulz we're going to install everything as user-owned, so you dont have to type your password.

Fuck. That.
