Not being confounded by choices they dont understand or care is also what they want.
Chrome and Firefox auto updating without user intervention by default is a good thing. If Chrome were to ask permission before downloading updates, many of them will just cancel it and get on with whatever they wanted to browse. If the system is compromised by malware because of an unpatched security issue, it is the vendor who takes the blame.
- tdkl 10y agoChrome is a browser, not an OS. I don't run my software under Chrome, so I'm not as affected if it had issues with auto-updating (there rarely was anything, which is another point). If Google were playing beta testers with Chromebooks and messing around like MS does, you'd think there would be anything positive written about them ?
- setyfse4 10y agoChromebooks also do auto updates, and do it such a way that typical non technical end user finds it difficult to turn off permanently. That's a good thing too.
