RE: Hive Keychain Development Proposal #2

in #hive3 years ago

How will I know when I need to update my Keychain extension, do I get a message it needs updating?

If you got the extension from the Chrome Store (works for Chrome, Opera and Brave) or on Firefox Add-Ons, your extension will update automatically.
If you installed it manually from Github you can follow @keychain for news about updates and update it manually.

With the advent of Microsoft once again removing and blocking an individual from GitHub, do you have alternate sites that the code is stored as a back-up?

If it gets banned on Github, we can host it on Gitlab or other similar service, so there's nothing to worry about, Keychain source code will always be available online.

A couple of other large companies have been in the news also for getting extension band or blocked on some web browsers, is there an alternate site to obtain the extension from just in case?

If that were to happen, it would still be possible to install the extension manually as explained above.

Thank you, yes I got it from the chrome store, so auto updates, thanks.

Glad to hear that the manual install will be there just in case, and that there are other open source locations for the code.
