Sorry to keep harping on about this, but the average non-technical user
wouldn't have a clue how to do that.
This isn't about me, it's about people like my wife, who prefer to run Linux
because it is more secure than Windows, but don't know one end of a bash shell
from the other, let alone a cron job.
Anyway. Since I last posted, I've established that the version of Chromium
that was on the laptop was released in early December, so even though (until
recently) I was often using it for several hours at a time (such as at a LUG
Meeting (when we still had them) it never caught a refresh.
I really think that the snap developers haven't thought of this so unless
someone can come up with a logical explanation why *my* particular laptop
isn't updating, other than what I've suggested, I'll probably raise a bug
report on Launchpad.
(I did do a search but couldn't find a bug that resembled this.)
