I just updated and immediately noticed two things that bothered me:

1. It added a new search engine (amazon.com.au) to my list that I'd culled down to just DuckDuckGo

2. It started recommending extensions for websites I visited

Maybe I'm overreacting a bit but why does it feel like every time I update anything recently I then have to spend 5 minutes going through the preferences to make sure it hasn't changed anything. It makes me hesitant to update any app when I feel like the developers are working against my interests.

I was annoyed about the recommending plugins thing as well. It's quick to turn off if that's any help.
