Not updating a browser strategically is like … one of the worst ideas possible. The most vulnerable part of your system, interfacing directly with the biggest if not only source of malware and other threats, being outdated and not updated while critical patches you didn’t hear about or are so dangerous that they weren’t mentioned yet and silently patched can attack you at every click you do is the single most dangerous thing to do.
I know, but I only have slow mobile data. To be honest I thought the update would be larger than 60MB. I probably confused Firefox with some other, larger package I wanted to avoid downloading besides supertuxkart and libreoffice-still.
The whole package is just 63 MB in Arch’s repos, not calculating the dependencies. I’d imagine there to be a solution to filtering those packages from updating with the normal update command, whatever package manager you may be using.
Welp, time to update my browser after months.
