Download Chromium link data not refreshed since Oct 2023

Current behavior

The Cypress Launchpad menu Help > Download Chromium menu item links to
https://vikyd.github.io/download-chromium-history-version/#/
which shows stale data.
For instance the latest Linux x64 version of Chromium is shown as
version 121.0.6158.0 position: 1231300 from October 2023.

Desired behavior

The Cypress Launchpad menu Help > Download Chromium menu item should provide up-to-date information for downloading Chromium.

Perhaps the following link is an appropriate alternative?

https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/

Test code to reproduce

Execute

npx cypress open --browser electron

In Cypress Launchpad menu select Help > Download Chromium which links to https://on.cypress.io/chromium-downloads and forwards to https://vikyd.github.io/download-chromium-history-version/#/
