Thankfully we're seeing a shift where people will accept this if it means serious security issues are fixed promptly.
I frankly couldn't care less if my scrollbar acts a little strange if it means two remote code execution holes were fixed.

You make it sound like that's not fathomable, but an astonishing number of security issues are caused by insecure font and UI rendering. > How about if they fix series security issues promptly without simultaneously breaking basic UI elements? While I agree that it's great if things don't break, I'm not sure what is really broken. I'm running Chrome right now and the scrollbar doesn't bother me. (It seems more like somebody not liking a change than it being "broken.") If you really dislike the change so much, you can just disable the auto-updater--but then you're on your own. Running an old browser is like sailing in a shark-infested ocean in a wheel of swiss cheese. Either way, you're suggesting they fix a hole in all previous versions of the software, and release new, fixed versions with no other changes. This is not feasible for a browser.
