Try installing the jq command.

Then retry executing this command and tell me what did you get:

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/uazo/cromite/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name'

Btw which Linux distro are you on?

It should work once you install jq.

btw how to update manually

Just download the latest Linux build, remove the old one, extract the one you just downloaded and you are good to go, you will not lose your data when you remove the old directory.

If you want also to delete all the data associated with it you should remove .config/chromium

rm -rf .config/chromium

@The-Hypervisor thanks, but I would be more inclined to activate an apt repo for cromite, but I don't know how to do it.

YouTube was not working and i have most of the work on youtube

is because of #710
Try again with a more up-to-date version

@The-Hypervisor thanks, but I would be more inclined to activate an apt repo for cromite, but I don't know how to do it.

It would be very nice to make it available as a Flatpak in Fluthub so all Linux users can install it from there, because many people (myself included) do not use Debian or Debian based distros, so the apt repo will be a huge limitation for us.

Hello.

I found this fork of Chromium and it has a deb repo FWIW:

https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium

I have added this repo to my Ubuntu 22.04 PC's sources.list.d and it works great, instructions seen here:

https://thorium.rocks/#installation

I agree on making it available as a Flatpak too. Maybe you guys can collaborate with each other on something similar for Cromite. I would contribute to this project, but I am merely a beta tester (with a lot of different web browsers installed on my devices, maybe too many! lol)

Hope this helps the issue..

Thanks

here is a very simple one, it just download and move the latest release to your destination (lin64).
Just edit the and rename it from cromite_update.txt to cromite_update.sh (I cannot upload .sh files)
Than do a

bash cromite_update.sh

maybe someone have more time/knowledge to optimize that :-)
cromite_update.txt

I agree! Flatpak would very much increase wide adoption for this browser
