It is a tradeoff. If somebody disabled automatic updates in Chrome, then they wouldn't have their secure websockets randomly broken on them some day. This could be more important for some users.
Enterprises that disable automatic updates should be regularly monitoring when updates occur so they understand the tradeoffs between the risk of using code that hasn't been tested extensively (so things might break) and the value provided in the updates.
- azakai 14y agoThis bug will likely not be fixed, since it is in a stable release and is not a security threat. So not updating in order to avoid this bug means not updating for the entire 6-week period. That's a huge amount of time to not be receiving security updates. It's hard for me to see the tradeoff making sense. I guess delaying the update until the severity of the bug is clear might make sense, for a short amount of time. But if you don't have a good workaround for the problem, you again have the choice between the bug or between an unpatched browser for a whole 6 scary weeks.
