1Password incorrectly reports Wavebox is out of date
Hi,
We've been getting reports from 1Password users that when using Wavebox, the extension is reporting that Chrome is out of date. This only appears on the Windows version. The exact error messag...
I had the same problem with version 8.9.12. The update channel is still set to beta, but it downloaded the production build again. I checked for updates, it updated to version 8.10.0 beta and it works again.
mbdiener this might work for you on Windows too.
What do you need from the Wavebox team to avoid this recurring issue? We already have URLs that we publish with the latest Wavebox versions for each platform...

Do you need the corresponding Chromium version to go along with these? We keep pretty up-to-date with the Google Chrome release cycle so this shouldn't be an issue. We track it really closely... i.e. our beta channel went to M109 on 20/12/22 and stable went to 109.0.5414.87 on 11/01/23 the day after Chrome.
I know some smaller browsers just bump and spoof the version number, but this isn't the case for us, we work really hard to make sure we're up to date with Chromium and secure. We keep the open source https://chromiumchecker.com/ up to date, which uses feature detection to check which milestone the visiting Chromium browser is using. It can't detect the minor version but gives great confidence on which milestone the browser is using.
Let me know what you need from our end because we're more than happy to help. This isn't just joint Wavebox & 1Password users that are affected, I'm an avid 1Password user myself, so seeing these recurring bugs is disheartening.
