Package: chromium
Version: 76.0.3809.100-1
Followup-For: Bug #941060

As I have said at the beginning of the bug report, I need the latest version of
the browser because of my bank. This is the only site that literally demands
it. That is also the reason I do not use firefox esr, because it identifies as
"old" version and the site does not log me in.

Other than that, I also want my browser to be secure, and since chromium does
not have an esr version like firefox, the only way to have all the latest
security updates is to have the latest available version. And if you check
here, there are 10+ cve that are open right now that debian does not have the
latest version.

If you, as a user, want to stick to an older version for any reason, stick to
it, but please do not use it for serious online tasks where security is the top
concern, e.g. web banking.

Furthermore, I know how much time is required to build chromium, that is why I
complained 2 weeks after the release, because I did not expect it to be ready
on day 1 (although it usually is).

Moreover, I use chromium on windows, for the last 5+ years. I get it from a
github repo and its maintainer has never missed a single major version all
those years, although he must have missed a couple of minor ones. Assuming that
he builds it on his pc, he does a better job than debian in keeping it up to
date. And he is a single person as it seems.

Last but not least, I also refuse to use snap apps, for the well known
drawbacks they have, so I won't install it as a snap app.

I hope I answered all your questions, but feel free to ask me anything.
