I don’t want web browsers to be changing all the time forcing me to do updates. Software that is complete doesn’t need to be changed just for the sake of change.

That’s not how security development works. New things come up and need to be updated to protect you.

The vast majority of it is not “security development”. There are just screwing around with perfectly good software, sometimes making it worse, because they have a large staff of developers they are paying a salary to.

That’s stuff comes on the regular release cycle. Chrome and Firefox are both on a release every 4 weeks.
