Why not at least have an option per install to control the update behavior?

I might want the latest Chrome and Firefox. But I don’t necessarily want the latest update to other applications.

I think this is a great suggestion, and I would also prefer that you could just permanently disable (via config, even if somehow discouraged) the default auto-update behavior.
