Edit: would it make sense to write a script that compares firefox and librewolf versions that’ll remind me when it is not up to date anymore?

If you abandon librewolf, how will I, a user, know that it won’t get updated anymore?

I know that the librewolf extension exist for the windows users that checks if it is up to date but what if librewolf is not up to date with firefox anymore?

As this is my first post here, thank you guys for your work! Librewolf makes it very easy for anyone to have a very good privacy browser.

    Thanks. The question is how do I, a user, know that it is dropped. Checking each month manually if it is still up to date can’t be the solution. Currently I check out lemmy and reddit regularly enough to stay up to date but what if that changes one day. Or what about a good friend of mine I recommended librewolf to, but who doesn’t check forum posts. If I don’t meet that friend anymore, I won’t be there to tell him.

      I was thinking a script would be the way to do it, and I see you have come to the same conclusion. for an Ubuntu install with flatpak I can see the version number with

      flatpak list | grep -i librewolf

      which returns

      LibreWolf io.gitlab.librewolf-community 96.0.3-2 stable system
