> I'll cop to the low form of sarcasm if you'll consider owning unwarranted= impatience. Fair enough. I'm not sure how (relatively) normal such a situation is, though. My other computer that runs OpenBSD picked up the fix no later than 3 days after release, and it could have been available sooner than that. "Void Linux" was more or less the same. It looks like the processes FreeBSD follows can lead up to a delay anywhere between 1, and 7 days. > This is a patch to ported software that - like many others - will always need ongoing updates. There are a number of other browsers you could use meanwhile, should particular bugs expose you to=20 unacceptable immediate risk. I think what I have learnt from this thread, and other places I=20 discussed the same issue is that I should run chromium in a jail,=20 and/or setup my own package server on a VPS that can build things=20 like Chromium as soon as a fix becomes available.
