Dammit shitfuck, Waterfox. Demanding that I help you upgrade your Appimage twice in a minute after I start the browser, and then again every time I start the browser, is not the way to handle update notices.
Linux Mint has an icon on my systray with no animation, which indicates the availability of system updates. That's how to do it.
I shouldn't have to manually add a policy config file to the fucking PROGRAM FOLDER for Waterfox, to tell it to stop checking for updates.
There are no browsers left which are user-friendly, private, secure, and feature-complete.
@everlastingrocks Oh you mean what about forks of Chromium? Too fat, mostly, for my taste. Firefox forks start up faster on low-powered machines.
@everlastingrocks Vivaldi just straight up crashes.
@everlastingrocks Waterfox is a fork of Firefox that tracks the Firefox project (and takes out the icky Mozilla and Google stuff). I'm pretty sure Waterfox's problematic "notifications" of upgrades came from there.
Pale Moon is based on Firefox pre-56, and it's faster than what it was forked from but not fast enough for today's web cesspool.
For now I'm gritting my teeth and sticking with Waterfox until the developer's new employer corrupts it.
