Re:Ask HN: What would you want in an ideal web browser?

A browser where the security updates aren't married to "interface enhancements".
Just give me the security updates for the version I have, because I don't want your designer's latest idea of what a browser should look like, and unwanted new features forced down my throat with the security updates.
Choice about what new features to install - much like Windows updates, would be nice.
At the very least provide ways to keep things working and looking exactly how they are at the moment. Needing an add-on to bring back the status bar in Firefox is a joke.
