Great. But as an end user I "utterly" hate the Chrome/Firefox model of endless updates.

  You hate endless security updates? Endless compatibility updates? Endless feature improvements? I'm not sure what part of the dark ages you would like to return to. Are we talking pre-Chrome, pre-Firefox or the days when Netscape 4 roamed majestically across the Triassic plains?

    > Endless feature improvements? I'd be ok without these, thanks. So many improvements turn out to be regressions in usability, causing and endless cycle of "now how do I do X today?" The compatibility updates, well, I don't recall actually seeing a lot of those day to day. So, not a lot of benefit there either.

    Personally, I'd like to return to Firefox 3-era update naming schemes. Point releases for minor features and bug fixes. Main version number changes whenever the browser has a major change, that changes how people use it (Like Firefox 3 to 4). Nowadays, it seems like every update changes the main version number.

  > the Chrome/Firefox model of endless updates. When I first heard about Chrome's secret updates I freaked out. Now I have used the chrome stable channel for years and have yet to see anything serious magically appear. It is king of disconcerting though to see the UI change. For example the new gray bookmark folders are still confusing my eyes. They disappear into the background for me.
