#52It would be good if Samsung browser were listed. It has about 10% market share of chromium browsers and is on version 136. It sticks to one version for months at a time and then jumps several versions. Going by historical data it's due for another jump soon.

It's not but given that Perplexity doesn't have an API and blocks automated downloads, I'm not sure what else to use. Explained in the docs: https://github.com/ShivanKaul/chromium-drift/blob/main/docs/...
How does comet update itself? Edit: approximately like so: curl -sS -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"request":{"protocol":"4.0","updater":"CometUpdater","updaterversion":"0","os":{"platform":"win","version":"10","arch":"x64"},"apps":[{"appid":"{42e10078-e377-4166-965f-c14ad958a146}","version":"0.0.0.0","updatechecks":[{}]}]}}' https://www.perplexity.ai/rest/browser/update2 | sed "s/^)]}'//" | jq -r '…
fwiw this should work the same for just about all chromium forks - protocol is documented here: https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/6eb6252d5671bca378...

#54The page says old chromium means insecure. Isn't anybody backporting fixes anymore?

#55What if I see a browser being "behind" as a benefit? (CVEs excepted)
Re: How far behind is each major Chromium browser?
#56The problem is: we all are behind Google. Google sits in the driver seat here. This is really, really bad ... Edit: Ok, almost all of us. There are some non-Google browsers such as firefox, but Google dished out money to Mozilla for many years, which made real competition impossible.
A lot of people are stuck with safari on iOS where there's not even another browser since apple bans them.
People choose to download Chrome over firefox, to ditch their custom browser engine (microsoft & opera) in favor of chromium.
We've centralized development effort on a large open source project.
Why exactly is this really really bad?
I find the safari situation bad because I can't use various web standards, it's closed source, etc, but the chromium one doesn't bother me. I just install firefox.

Re: How far behind is each major Chromium browser?
#60I would like to see all "desktop" applications that use Electron listed and how big of a Chromium drift is there, especially how many applications are shipping runtimes with unfixed vulnerabilities.
Isn’t the threat model for these desktop apps entirely different?
