  It’s a browser. They have been getting weekly updates for like a decade now.

    Updates generally don't require settings resets. It can happen if there's major changes but that's the exception, not the norm. If Chrome updates revert settings to default with any degree of regularity that's either gross incompetence or sheer malice.

      Fair enough. I stopped using it ages ago, and was abhorred to find out chrome logs you in on the browser when you log in to Google at any point. Any browser that silently insists on knowing your identity as you browse the Web deserves zero trust.

      Thank firefox for containers.

    Chrome updates itself about once every five - six days on my system

    Firefox updates once about every two weeks and often just once a month.

    Everytime I run a manual update, Chrome is always on the list.
