The solution to having updated browsers should not be forcing updates down users' throats.
I will not use any browser that installs software on my machine without my consent.

- blub 15y agoIf I have to read an entire page about their updater and then change system configuration files I don't consider this "allowing" me to turn off updates.
- MatthewPhillips 15y agoAsking for permission and having updated browsers are mutually exclusive ideas. I'll gladly take the latter at the sacrifice of the former.
- blub 15y agoFirefox has proven that your claim is false, it is possible to have an updated browser and still ask for permission. As for the concessions you're willing to make, it's your choice after all. Some people are scarily comfortable in giving up control over their machine for convenience.
