There's lots of stuff you are not allowed to modify, hack or otherwise
tinker, such as (Gasp! Shudder!) Windoze. I avoid proprietary code as
much as I can, but sometimes the tradeoff makes it worthwhile.
But I really DO NOT LIKE automatic updates you can't turn off! I tend to
stick with older, working versions of software, autoupdates BREAK
things. I agree with you, I don't think I could accept that, either.

For any of you that don't want to bother reading through the Google Chrome
license, I did that recently, and was not able to accept it due to the
following provisions:
9.2 Subject to section 1.2, you may not (and you may not permit anyone else
to) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile
or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Software or any
part thereof, unless this is expressly permitted or required by law, or
unless you have been specifically told that you may do so by Google, in
writing.
11.1 The Software which you use may automatically download and install updates
from time to time from Google. These updates are designed to improve,
enhance and further develop the Services and may take the form of bug
fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new
versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit Google to deliver
these to you) as part of your use of the Services.
16.1 Some of the Services are supported by advertising revenue and may display
advertisements and promotions. These advertisements may be targeted to the
content of information stored on the Services, queries made through the
Services or other information.
16.2 The manner, mode and extent of advertising by Google on the Services are
subject to change without specific notice to you.
16.3 In consideration for Google granting you access to and use of the
Services, you agree that Google may place such advertising on the
Services.
20.2 From time to time, Google Chrome may check with remote servers (hosted
by Google or by third parties) for available updates to extensions,
including but not limited to bug fixes or enhanced functionality. You
agree that such updates will be automatically requested, downloaded, and
installed without further notice to you
