Advice Request What browser do you use on Linux, and do you get timely updates?

Glad you found it. Sorry for the slow reply, been pretty hectic in my neck of the woods. I'm really happy they ported this browser over, its my daily driver.

Yeah, it's a good thing. Once Edge became Chromium based, it's not a big deal to package it for linux.

I did that, and no updates are available.
Version 82 is not in the stable repo.
@bribon77 are you on MX? What version is your Firefox at?

Thanks. I think a lot of distros updated firefox by now.

Sorry for the delay, I had not read this thread, if I am in MX, it was updated without problems.

Firefox was updated today from version 81.0.1-1 to 82.0-2 on my Raspberry Pi 4 with Manjaro ARM.

Firefox version 82.0 was released October 20, 2020. So, 8 days ago.

Currently Ungoogled Chromium on Debian 10, with updates from:

Install package home:ungoogled_chromium / ungoogled-chromium

Surprisingly very up to date, although I see out of date for Ubuntu.

I discovered that if you add the Mozilla security PPA to debian-based distros (such as Ubuntu) you will get the latest and greatest version of Firefox and Thunderbird even before your distro pushes it out.
