    no updates for chromium on 14.04 trusty from repository - only snap available

    https://community.ubuntu.com/t/chrom...on-trusty/5905

    This post is to officially announce that no more security updates will be published for chromium-browser on trusty. The last version available is 65.0.3325.181-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.

    People who require an up-to-date version of chromium are encouraged to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu (16.04 or 18.04), or install the chromium snap (which in my limited testing works well on trusty):

    snap install chromium

    I can see that Opera cannot be updated from repositories.
    To update download the latest deb direcly from Opera download site and use
    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i <package_name>
    There may be some information about errors but Opera works.

    Edit:
    I used this script to convert opera deb so that Qapt doesn't inform about unmet dependency. With dpkg -i there was a problem, because every time I did dist-upgrade it wanted to uninstall opera.

    But you will have to manually check for opera updates.

    I would expect to see more of this as 14.04 rapidly approaches EOL.

    Time up upgrade?
