We will get away from auto updating and security issues once we have a feature complete browser and a stable HTML specification. Given past trends I would expect this no earlier than the heat death of the universe.
- im3w1l 7y agoI disagree. The key driver of the need for auto updates is security patches. Many people would accept missing out on new features. In fact, I suspect some would see that as a positive.
- tremon 7y agoI think the reality is that more people would accept missing out on security patches than missing out on features, once those features gain traction on sites. For example, Netflix' use of in-browser DRM makes it a must-have for mainstream browsers.
