I don't know exactly when this changed, but I always see people (devs and users alike) leave their Chrome open and waiting for an update, sometimes for weeks or months.

I guess if they just put their machines to sleep and never fully quit Chrome, it never has a chance to self update.

Am I crazy for thinking that Chrome should be designed in a way where individual tab rendering processes should be able to upgrade without having to close and restart the entire cluster of processes? The actual browser UI shell very seldom needs updates...

I don't know the internals of chrome (I'm sure someone else here does), but that sounds like they'd be containerizing a bunch of runtime inside tabs. Would probably blow up memory usage. But not sure what their current tab sandboxing already entails.
