Include Instruction Set in Version Number for Clarity #713

I appreciate the various builds of Thorium browser tailored for different CPU instruction sets. To help users verify that we have installed the correct version, could you include the specific instruction set (AVX, AVX2, SSE3, SSE4) in the version number or package metadata?

For example:

  • Current version: 124.0.6367.218-1 (what is currently visible via dpkg -s)
  • Suggested version: 124.0.6367.218-1-AVX2

This would allow users to confirm they have the correct optimized version installed via package management tools.

Thank you for your consideration and all your work.

Next release, when you go to chrome://settings/help it will show what instruction set the build is.

For example, for AVX2 it would say "Version 126.0.6478.231 (Official Build) stable, built on Ubuntu (AVX2) (64-bit)"
