Keystone no longer used to update Chrome? (chromium.org)
2 points by endunless 6 months ago | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments



Chrome uses Chromium Updater aka Omaha 4 on macOS.


Keystone had a pretty mixed history on macOS, with things like the WindowServer bug and that one time it deleted the /var symlink. Do you know if the new updater is safer to use? I can't find out much about it.

I have no data on that. All software has bugs, the updater included.
