they censored both my comments, and blocked me from their github project
less horrible browsers are ungoogled-chromium or librewolf ...
but remember, the best software is useless with hardware backdoors,
which are included in 99% of all "consumer grade" electronics
dont like hardware backdoors?
just buy some "military grade" electronics
or, you know, solder your own computer from a thousand transistors

auto-update is a virus. Literally a major security and stability vulnerability. Software should NEVER EVER auto-update, and it shouldn't nag the user to update either. No software should ever "nag" any user, that's bad design by engineers who don't respect their users. Software should only update when the user WANTS to update it.

Yeah, this form of tech paternalism is a huge turn-off & annoying as all hell.

exactly.
also see brave on the "Spyware Watchdog" https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave.html

Spyware Level: High
Brave is self updating software, uses Google as the default search engine, has built-in telemetry, and even has an opt-out rss-like news feed [Brave Today] similar to Firefox Pocket. These shouldn't be the things that come to mind if someone were to imagine a privacy oriented browser.
solutions

to all the "sane" people in this thread
lets start a hostile fork : )
after all, thats the beauty of open source
im also inviting Eloston from ungoogled-chromium
to all the neo-fascists ...
... trying to FORCE me [with hardware backdoors] to my own luck ...

Hello, automatic updates are a core part of our commitment to security. Delaying them is always a risk. We're not going to add a feature to disable automatic updates.

This is on our radar.

bullshit. this takes 10 minutes to fix, but you make it 10 years

I cleaned up a few of the comments. Let's please keep things civil here - no personal attacks

thanks for the confirmation, only criminals must hide
obviously, spyware and censorship go hand in hand
from bsclifton bio:

Previously godaddy & intel.

[godaddy] has been involved in several controversies related to censorship [wp]
Critics like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Libreboot developers, and security expert Damien Zammit accused the ME of being a backdoor and a privacy concern. [wp]

these people are proud ex-members of NSA/CIA shell companies (intel, mozilla, godaddy), and now they are "freedom fighters"?
remember kids, autoupdates was invented (and aggressively pushed) by google and microsoft, which are also just shell companies for NSA/CIA
if you care about software security, subscribe to some newsfeed for software vulnerabilty, for example https://security.snyk.io/
... but the devil is in hardware backdoors
