[tahrpup 6.0.5] Fresh .pet for Chrome ???

#1 Post by fabrice_035 »

Hello,
With PPM v2 i can download and install google_chrome-41, but with Quickpet Tahr tool the google-Chrome-32.0.xxxxxxxx.pet (oldies but goodies ???) is proposed :shock:
Why it is hard to find a fresh Chrome for puppy ? Actually the last version is 55.

Thx

If you are talking about 32bit, Google stopped releasing Chrome at version 48
If you are specifically wanting a .pet package there is one here:-

There were a couple of minor updates after this but they were still version 48.*

If you want something based on more recent Chromium source code, there are some options in the Browsers and Internet section of this forum.
You could try Iron 55 https://yadi.sk/d/_S5b4g7tpcyZn
Or Vivaldi which is rather nice and based on Chromium 55 https://yadi.sk/d/euoIiDRDqcFnK
Or SlimJet 13 based on Chromium 55 https://yadi.sk/d/fd8rBM0WoF9sB

These browsers get updated fairly often so it is difficult to maintain latest versions in the repos that PPM and Quickpet use. The forum is sometimes a better place to look. The Puppy community are all volunteers. I am only a relative novice and upload a few things for experimentation and as part of my own learning process. Other forum members also provide contributions which you may find more suitable for your requirements than mine.
