In Chrome's case, I believe it auto updates. So you don't really have a choice unless you actively try to disallow it or switch of auto-updates.

So I do have a choice, right? HN is a pretty technical forum -- not normally a place for ignorant-consumer type viewpoints (no offense intended). Case in point, my version of "Chrome" (chromium on Debian) does not auto-update (I think so - It's the normal way on Debian, although I don't really use chromium but firefox).

Why don’t you go ahead and restate what sgt said in a way that wouldn’t have set you off on this needlessly perjorative tangent.

Sorry, I'm just bad at leaving posts below my own ones unanswered. But actually I explained exactly what I thought was wrong with that (sgt's) comment and why I supposed it had been downvoted. I don't think there is a way of restating it -- OP has a perfectly valid point that does not need "nothing is wrong, just restart or install this thing that everybody needs to have" type rebuttals.
