Did they mention if users will still be shown a popup about updating then asked to restart their web browser after the update is complete or will they actually get it right like Google and not bother the user at all?

Google will bother the user eventually if they don't restart their browser for a while. And they show a little downwards pointing arrow when an update is available, but wait on the dialog until it's been a few days (maybe weeks?). But for most updates, they don't bother the user.
