Invisible updating is a reason to convince someone else to use Chrome. The reason I use Chrome is the fact it runs in a protected sandbox. If Firefox did this I would seriously consider switching back.

- ansy 15y agoIE9 isn't cross platform so it's a non-starter.
- billybob 15y agoYes, but IE has a history of being the slowest, most insecure, least standards-compliant browser, so if I'm trying to get people onto a "good browser treadmill," I'm going to steer clear of it. If IE becomes the dominant Awesome, Fast, Safe Browser for 5 years running, I'll reconsider.
