Keep Browz up to date

Browz checks for new versions itself and installs one only when you choose to.

Browz keeps itself up to date. When it starts, and every few hours while it runs, Browz checks whether a new version is out. If there is one, a notice tells you which version it is and what changed. Nothing is installed until you choose Install and restart.

Every update is signed by us, and Browz checks that signature before it changes anything. An update whose signature does not match is refused, and your installed Browz is left as it was.

If a profile or an AI agent session is running, Browz keeps it running: you can have the update wait until your work is done, or confirm which profiles to close first. Browz closes profiles the same way as when you quit, so your cookies and tabs are saved.

  1. To check now, open Settings, then App updates, and choose Check for updates.
  2. To stop automatic checks, turn them off in the same place. You can still check by hand.

Checking for updates asks our download server which version is the latest. Once a day, while automatic checks are on, the check also tells us the Browz version, whether your computer runs macOS, Windows or Linux, and whether this is the first time Browz has started, so we can count installs. It sends nothing about you or your profiles, and no identifier. Turning automatic checks off stops it. If you have Browz 0.1.3 or earlier, download the new version once from gobrowz.com/download; from then on, Browz updates from inside the app.
