Hello, thank you so much fot this amazing great launcher and updater ! 🥇 💯

Please i have request : it can be complicated and difficult especially for beginners to follow the steps described on the Cromite browser page to update Cromite browser using our beloved Chrlauncher!

we hope please for a specific version of our beloved Chrlauncher to make the portable version of Cromite browser executable and to update it in a quick and simplified way, as well as a specific version to update Thorium browser please, because they are among the best web browsers of the world, thank you very much!

Would it also be possible to add Supermium (https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/) support to chrlauncher?

I would also like to be able to update thorium via chrlauncher. Is it possible to do it somehow?

To address the questions:

Achieving specific updaters for Thorium and Superium or any other fork is possible
if their repo owners publish a file similar to this one from Cromite with each release.
This file is necessary for Chrlauncher to manage updates.
This are the 3 important lines:
https://github.com/uazo/cromite/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yaml#L196

TIMESTAMP=$(date +%s -r chrome-win.zip)
echo >updateurl.txt "browser=chromium;os=windows;architecture=64-bit;timestamp=$TIMESTAMP;editor=uazo;channel=stable;repository=https://github.com/uazo/cromite/releases;download=https://github.com/uazo/cromite/releases/latest/download/chrome-win.zip;version=$(cat $OUTPUTFILE_WIN/RELEASE);revision=1;commit=$CROMITE_SHA"
$GH release upload $VERSION-$CROMITE_SHA updateurl.txt

I suggest that users involved in this discussion write issues
on their favorite browser's repo to request such update URLs.
With enough support, the repo owners might implement it.

Additionally, you can use multiple Chrlauncher folders with different configs
to keep your favorite browsers up to date.

If Thorium and Superium create these updateurl.txt files, I can assist with configuration files.

Cheers!
