How far behind is each major Chromium browser?

I 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.

Shouldn't it also show the version number of the browser the user is currently on?

Cool idea, but without longer-term tracking of how long each browser lags for each Chromium release, it's hard to draw any meaningful conclusions. It's also clear that in the case of major vulnerabilities, vendors would fast-track adoption of the patch. I would definitely include the fact that "major" versions of Chromium are released every 2 weeks. For instance, Vivaldi is on version 146.0.7680.218 that released this Tuesday [1], only 5 days ago.

> Why does Chromium version lag matter? > users are exposed to known, already-patched security vulnerabilities Then why only focus on major versions? Don't minor versions/revisions have security fixes?

This is somewhat useful, but I know for instance that Vivaldi is often one version behind for the sake of stability, but also will also release incremental security updates in the period before major version updates.

Please don’t use green/red schemes, it’s the most common form of colorblindness and it’s especially bad with such pale shades.

Could add the Meta Quest browser

This website, for me, it's named "List of all browsers I will never use". Yet another reminder, lawmakers US/EU/Anywhere else, should force all browsers to actively block fingerprinting.

Is "uptodown" really the canonical download page for Comet? A point-in-time view is interesting but it's less useful than a graph over time. Would be fun to add the version shipped in LG smart TVs (hint: it's ancient)

Vivaldi does minor releases as needed for security and bugs, so saying 1 major version behind is a bit coarse.

In defense of Vivaldi, it is actually up to date, just on the Extended Stable cycle: https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/releases?platform=Mac https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/main/do...

I use Firefox, btw

The 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.

Credit to bsclifton for the idea!

It 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.

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

What if I see a browser being "behind" as a benefit? (CVEs excepted)

Why is this list missing Supermium?
