Please update chromium - {older} Vivaldi is dangerous to use...

You should stop using Vivaldi until it is updated.
Here is the list of security holes in the chromium version they are using right now!

modedit added a word to title to make clear what is meant
-
@x385993 Current version (Snapshot and RC Stable) is 89.0.4389.91
Full Stable will be updated R.S.N. -
Somewhat of an over reaction in my opinion.
Chromium code is evolving daily and will perpetually have vulnerabilities..
Chromium code is released daily.Some people are using browsers which are years old and never been exploited etc.
all chromium based browsers are dangerous to use if this post is anything to go by.
-
@Priest72 Hackers are getting better and better at using the small windows of opportunity from a CVE is released until people get their browser patched.
They have a hard time in googles chrome land... Patches are almost immediately sent out.... But here they have a whopping 2 weeks.
People get hurt in drive-by attacks. Unfortunately my favorite browser is way more exposed than chrome. Often you don´t hear about it, because the bad guys stay hidden under the radar.
-
@Priest72 Exactly this. Two weeks is nothing when you have to port the thing over. Moreover by the time the update is through new insecurities will have been found. What OP is saying is stop using Vivaldi forever.
-
@Priest72
I also see this in the same way. -
@Gwen-Dragon That´s great - but 99% of Vivaldi users are on the stable branch.
-
@luetage Other browsers like Brave (based on chromium) are much faster at patching. So it can be done - if priorities on peoples safety is first.
-
Based in your logic, you should only use Chrome the day has been updated!!!!!!
-
@barbudo2005 Nobody is completely safe, but leaving the window open longer than needed is not safe... The others close the window, as soon as they have the opportunity.
-
@x385993 Brave is open source and has far more developers, don’t think Vivaldi could do it.
-
@luetage Maybe they don't have the time... that's sad, because it's a great browser otherwise.
Some of the vulnerabilities are exploited in this very moment. Hacker are thirsty!

@x385993 Don't worry, nobody cares to hack your computer, think about your sanity. Take care and good luck.
-
I should point out initially in the first post that the list of "vulnerabilities" seems to only apply to google chrome which is google's version of chromium.
A clear distinction needs to be made between chromium and chrome.
I find this post rather paranoid in it's theme and scaremongering at it's worst.
-
The OP has made three posts since 2018, all on the same topic.
Please ignore him. Obviously he has an agenda, and by his own advice should not even be using Vivaldi.
-
@x385993 , I have listened to these things for 20 years and little has changed in this time with malware and exploits and for 20 years, using the network in a massive way, I have never had problems with any malware (some other highjacker years ago apart) Vivaldi is quite on par with each Chromium Update with very little difference.
The network in general is a place that is never 100% safe and no matter how up-to-date Chromium or any other browser is, there are always going to be points of attack for malicious people on the network.
There is a computer war between all the companies and secret services that do nothing other than look for security holes in the different platforms, either for political reasons or to spy on the competences and the user is ocasionaly in the middle, with between 500,000-800,000 new malware appearing daily pointing on goverments and industry.
Maintain common sense and do not click on anything, reasonably updating the AV, browser and OS and nothing happens, the normal user is not the main target of these type of attacks. -
@x385993 Vivaldi development is a constant process of updating chromium. Every new chromium release, before it can be integrated into Vivaldi, has to be heavily patched and modified. It does not arrive as a working module that can simply be plugged in. Vivaldi can only work on top of "vivaldi modified" Chromium and before intake can be completed and published, it must be tested extensively because essentially every new version of Chromium has new ways to break or cripple Vivaldi, and these must be detected and corrected.
So your plea falls on deaf ears because you are only asking the Vivaldi team to do what they are already doing.
