⚙ Chromium Builds

Source	Name	Channel
Woolyss
	Hibbiki	stable, dev
	Marmaduke	stable, dev

* Defaults in bold

Make sure the combination of name and channel you pick is correct. You can also use chrupd.cmd -list. For more information about versions check chromium.woolyss.com, it's feed and chromium.org.

Notes:

• using -name Ungoogled also works (alias for Ungoogled-Marmaduke)
• for the builds from chromium.org use Official
• some authors release archive files instead of installers, for more info see docs/Files.md

⏰ Scheduled Task

To make sure Chromium is always automatically updated to the latest version you can optionally add a Scheduled Task by using chrupd.cmd -crTask. A VBS wrapper will be written to chrupd.vbs which is used to hide it's window. Option -noVbs disables the wrapper, this will however cause a flashing window when the task runs. Specifed settings for 'name' and 'channel' are used to run the script every day.

🔃 Updating Script

The script auto updates itself (since v20210109).

(!) If you keep getting an error about "Unable to get new script, skipped update", this means a new version was detected but the script was unable to get the new version from GitHub. Try again later or manually update.

To manually update to a newer script version just replace "chrupd.cmd". Copy "name" and "channel" if set. If you a have Scheduled Task setup, you do not need to change the task.

📁 Files

File 'chrupd.cmd' is all you need to run.
