Releases and updates

Light Browser checks for updates on startup and installs them silently after a SHA-256 check. This page lists every version with its notes and downloads.

How updating works

Automatic. On startup (at most every 6 hours) the browser reads the latest release from GitHub. If it's newer, the installer downloads, its checksum is verified, and it installs and relaunches.
Manual. Open the ⋮ menu → About → Check for updates, or download any version below and run it over the existing install.
Ad filters update separately, once a day, without a new browser version. ⋮ → Update ad filters now forces a refresh.
Portable builds do not self-update; download the new LightBrowser.exe and replace the old one.
Linux. Each release ships a .deb (Ubuntu 24.04+ / Debian 12+) and a tarball. The app shows a notice when a newer version exists; install the new .deb with sudo apt install ./lightbrowser_*.deb.
