I have already edited, but to elaborate:

If you want the web and accept that the web is moving and you can't do anything about that, then it should be recognized that the web browser is hard time catching up. I actually hate most auto update things, but it had been too hard to use any web browser without such facilities. I use Firefox because at least I can see---and have a non-zero probably to alter---what happens to this moving platform.
