I feel the same way. However, it is interesting that effectively zero Chrome users complain about auto-updates, presumably because they are stable, seamless, and very conservative with user-facing changes.

What I would prefer to see is seamless updates by default, with limitless ability to roll back and freeze updates. Unfortunately, the business case for this is negligible, outside of specific enterprise requirements, and especially complex to implement when considering external factors like APIs and file formats.

You make a good point that when they are seamless it doesn't bother users. When I do come across things that break with chrome's frequent updates it annoys me greatly. One other thing to point out is that we aren't locked into using Chrome so there is less pain from automatic updates. If my smartphone forced me to update automatically for instance this would be a much bigger issue as they lock me into using their software.
