An auto-updating browser is essential to me. For nearly all other software I abhor automatic updates, but for something as vulnerable as a browser it's absolutely crucial.

Firefox or chrome has been updated is a much better experience than “your brother printer software has updates” every time I opened my computer.

I just updated the printer! Nope it’s the update checker that’s needs updating, ok. Nope still not up to date, now the installer needs updating.
