Advice Request How fast do Chromium based browsers follow Google's Chrome updates/releases?

[Lenny_Fox]

The only way to fight or confirm impressions or hearsay is by factual data. Therefore I am asking forum members using a Chromium based browser (.e.g Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Woolyss Chromium, Ungoogled, etc) to post when they receive an update which contains the security updates of Google's Chrome's latest.

To kick off with latest thread from MalwareTips Bot

May 20, 2020 Google Chrome 83.0.4103.61 has been released

Chrome - Google Chrome 83.0.4103.61 has been released

The Chrome team is delighted to announce the promotion of Chrome 83 to the stable channel for Windows, Mac and Linux. This will roll out over the coming days/weeks. Chrome 83.0.4103.61 contains a number of fixes and improvements -- a list of changes is available in the log. Watch out for...

When you use a different Chromium based browser please post when you received this update also


P.S.
For data gathering one confirmation per browser would be sufficient. When the mods also think this information ads value to the Browsers & Extension forum section, please make it a sticky. When this thread becomes a sticky (and members keep this a clean thread, with limited off topic posts) I promise to collect the data and publish it in a spreadsheets to monitor the update delay of different Chromium variants.

Opera have option

Microsoft Edge auto updated to version 83 in my machine:

 

[bayasdev]

Edge: Chromium 83
Vivaldi: Chromium 81, 83 is in snapshot but .mp4 files can't be played

EDIT: Edge in Android is always using an out of date version of Chromium, while Vivaldi is already on 81

IS this correctly administrated? Any browser to monitor or can I remove et cetera?

 

[bayasdev]

Opera stable still on v81

Gandalf, thanks

I could not find 'Secure DNS lookups' as an option in edge://flags. Then I realized, I had set group policies for edge with regedit (option only available in flags for Edge instanced not controlled by group policy), so I added it manually with regedit.

By the way, as @oldschool has pointed out regarding Brave, some updates are postponed due to Covid-19, so this comparison might not be exactly accurate/fair at the moment. I am just trying to defend my favourite browser Yandex, which has not updated to 83 yet, but it is still worth mentioning.

@TairikuOkami

Thanks totally forgot about Yandex. Since nobody mentioned Vivaldi, I will add Yandex and skip Vivaldi (has no users on MT apparently)

 

[silversurfer]

@Lenny_Fox You may would like to keep both Vivaldi and Yandex on your table, @Moonhorse mentioned Vivaldi, quotes below:

Vivaldi usually installs security updates on same day than google chrome, but when it comes to new version like 83 in this case, snapshot of vivaldi is at 83 currently and there is no rush to update stable to 83 as fast as possible.

 

[Lenny_Fox]

@silversurfer OKay I will thanks

Update

N.B.

Edge-chromium has code integrity guard enabled for renderer processes, meaning a (sub)process rendering a webpage can't load dll's which are not signed by Microsoft. Security aware Edge-chromium users can enable the flags #edge-de-elevate-on-launch, which de-elevates the main (broker) process when Edge-chroimium is launched with high integrity rights (system or admin), this effectively keeps the main (broker) process in a standard user (sand)box.

@Lenny_Fox You may would like to keep both Vivaldi and Yandex on your table, @Moonhorse mentioned Vivaldi, quotes below:

Indeed, Yandex was updated several times since 83 was released. I wonder, whether they have fixed vulnerabilities themselves? It has zero changelog.

I have just checked and I do not even have the latest version, they keep minor updating way too often.

Woolyss Chromium (not the ungoogled version) updated on same day

 

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Microsoft Edge Version	Date Released	Based on Chromium Version	Highest Severity Fix in Release	CVEs
83.0.478.45	6/4/2020	83.0.4103.97	High	CVE-2020-6493, CVE-2020-6494, CVE-2020-6495, CVE-2020-6496

Woolyss Chromium (not the ungoogled version) updated on same day

right. I'm using it, too
sometimes, it can take 2-3 days when the dev is busy. Usually, it's updated within the same day

 

[Lenny_Fox]

The first outline of a pattern is showing up

Note the Ungoogled Chromium is the one available at Woolyss (from Marmaduke), not the project of Ungoogled Chromium at GitHub.
