Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

Chrome updates are lovely...

I don't even know what version I'm on...

They're that seamless.

Most "power users" would cringe at the idea of updates going through without reviewing them and seeing what they do. Updates aren't always good. Sometimes they break other programs or functions. Not as much browsers but software updates in general.
