Chrome's introduction of notification center was incredibly obnoxious. No application (especially an auto-updating one) should put an icon in my menu bar without my permission, or at a minimum without a super easy and obvious way to remove it (preferably command-drag to reorder or remove it like native menu bar icons on OS X).
Initially you had to dig into chrome://flags to disable it, then enough people complained they added a menu item to disable it.
Really they should have just integrated with whatever native notification system exists on each platform.
