I briefly installed Chrome on my computer, I believe it was
via rpm. Without giving me a choice or telling me they were going to do
it, they created a .repo file and enabled it, in addition to installing
the browser. The browser also doesn't have an option whether or not to
automatically download updates (or didn't, since I now longer
use it). 

At least Adobe gives you the option to download an rpm for each version
of flash, or do a 'yum' download which creates a repo. I thought it was
not very well-mannered of Google (Topeka for today!); so I disabled the
repo and don't use that browser anymore. 

That may not play into this topic very well, but it seemed like a good
place to vent. :-)
