Warn insecure browsers with special message

2022-12-03

In light of the sever bug in Chrome, Edge, Opera and Vivaldi that is exploited in the wild (High CVE-2022-4262: Type Confusion in V8), we are notifying these browsers on all sites that have configured the browser-update.org script with insecure: true.

To better explain to users the urgency we improved the message in the notification

as well as on the update page:

Your browser is out-of-date.

Your browser has severe security issues. You could get a virus by just viewing a malicious website.

Please download one of these up-to-date, free and excellent browsers:

This is so far only in English and German but we plan to translate it into other languages as well.

The message for insecure browsers can me modified specifying {"text":{"insecure":"Your browser is insecure!"}}, see customize.
