That's a nice idea, but I'm hesitant to use automatic installation scripts like this, even if I review them carefully. I prefer manual steps – downloading the file, placing it in the correct directory. Also, I use custom profile directories for my web browsers, so this script wouldn't apply to my setup.

Manual steps are linked to in the second sentence of the Getting Started section.

Not for Linux. I am using Linux on my desktop.

It does if you look into the README for Firefox

Ah, it looks like they have Linux instructions for Firefox but not for Chrome or Edge. How odd.

		Who uses Edge on Linux?

do you carefully review those files you've downloaded and placed into said correct directory, or do you just double click an YOLO your way through the install? at least a bash script allows for you to read it vs a pre-compiled binary installer. either way, you are trusting code created by someone else.

		Honestly, I'm reacting a bit against the "YOLO" install culture common on Windows and macOS – just double-clicking and hoping for the best. I specifically use CachyOS, an Arch-based Linux distribution, because it emphasizes a more deliberate, package-managed approach. I prefer relying on the maintainers' work and pre-defined steps within packages whenever possible. It allows me to understand what is being installed and how it's being configured, rather than an all-in-one script potentially making changes I didn't anticipate.
