@Tobi823 Do you consider working on that? Looks indeed like an important and senseful change to me. |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Chromium builds that FFUpdate downloads are so-called "snapshots". These are not stable builds, but they are created automatically several times an hour from the current source code. Nobody tests them, they are really pure development builds that should not be used in everyday life, as the risk of data loss or serious problems is very high. The "stable" Chromium builds usually have to be compiled yourself, unfortunately the Chromium team does not provide anything other than the snapshots. The Cromite project provides stable Chromium builds, they are referred to there as "Vanilla Chromium" and are in the assets for the Cromite releases, although they still contain slight changes and are only created after the normal Cromite build, which is because they are mainly created to test which problems are with Cromite and which changes cause problems with other patches. But they may also be good enough to be integrated into FFUpdater, preferably with a warning.
