I also agree that lack of updates is problem here, for browser and other forked default apps, but since this thread is about browser, I focus on that.
One reason I read these threads is cause apparently there’s some discussion at /e/ team to move entirely away from Bromite.
If that’s the case and work for new base has been done behind the scenes, that could explain “no updates to browser even with OS updates” policy lately. But still it’s an issue to not offer update. Time will see how things go forward.
