Sir Is the WaterFox browser for android worthy to be included in FF-updater? If you think right, please.. Regards.

rafnov commented 3 months ago

I am using Waterfox on desktop pcs and mobiles. I am disappointed that it isn't included in Ffupdater.

Tobi823 commented 3 months ago

Do you know from where the APK files can be downloaded?

https://github.com/BrowserWorks/Waterfox-Android does not have any releases and https://www.waterfox.net/download/ does not have any Android downloads.

@rafnov I'm sure that this was not your intention but:

I am disappointed

sounds disrespectful to me. I'm not obligated to support every browser in FFUpdater. It is still my free time that I invest in this app.

For the next time - please write it more positive like: "I'm a big fan of Waterfox and would love to see it in FFUpdater."

Have a nice weekend

https://github.com/BrowserWorks/Waterfox-Android does not have any releases and https://www.waterfox.net/download/ does not have any Android downloads.

It's only available in play store with 'play app signing'. There are many issues raised already in their Github page but without any response from the devs. Do you think something lack of transparency is there in android built due to Google's intervention?

I am sorry if you felt offended, that was not my intention indeed. Just please keep in mind language differences, words may have different meanings, depending on context too.

Thank you for your work with the app!

I don't think so. As far as I understand "Play App Signing" does not impact the developers in publishing updates.

There are many issues raised already in their Github page but without any response from the devs.

It is a bit strange - but this is more problematic: The last published code change (Git commit) was made on 19.04.2024. But according to the Play Store, Waterfox was updated on 13.06.2024. Maybe they were to busy and forgot to upload the latest code changes to GitHub.

I think it is best to wait for https://github.com/BrowserWorks/Waterfox-Android/issues/64
