Description
Just now, on MacOS Catalina, I had an update dialog box open since yesterday. I clicked "Install and Relaunch" ... only to have it throw up a new update dialog box when the update finished and the browser relaunched.
Could the "Install and Relaunch" logic be rerigged to at least offer to pull in the latest update, not just the one which triggered the dialog box?
I understand that the information in the dialog box may be obsolete by the time the user clicks, and so possibly there should be three options: "Review New Pending Updates" (only displayed when newer updates are available), "Cancel", and "Relaunch and Install Only This Update".
On the other hand, you would usually want to end up on the latest version, so perhaps this is a needless complication. It could very well be enough to display "Additional updates have arrived since the notification was displayed; they will be installed as well. If you want to review the changes, cancel and check for newest updates again."
Steps to Reproduce
Actual result:
You are immediately prompted to install a newer update still.
Expected result:
Latest update installed. no more disruptions to your browser experience when the browser relaunches.
Reproduces how often:
Depending on how reluctant you are to take an update, these days, pretty easy to repro I would think.
Brave version (brave://version info)
(Probably something like 1.29.79 when this thing started.)
Version/Channel Information:
(Only tested current release.)
Other Additional Information:
I haven't been able to check with official Chrome (I have no control over when it updates, as this is handled by my company's IT), but my understanding is no. I run Chrome Canary and rarely update, and yet it seems to not offer new updates immediately after.
