> If one wants to install Google Chrome, for example, it seems like a good idea to get a package directly from Google rather than a third-party Flatpak that may well be out of date with the upstream release. The current Flathub version is the 142.0.7444.175 from November 17, while the most recent release from Google is 143.0.7499.40; that release has 13 security fixes that users no doubt would like to have immediately.

(maintainer here) This sounds a bit longer than it actually was: there were no stable releases of Chrome for Linux *at all* between the two mentioned ones (likely because of US holidays), and the 143 flatpak was uploaded just a few days after release, which is around the upper limit of what I try to aim for. I think you might have checked the version very shortly before it was updated.

Thanks for the reply! I wonder ... is there a way to get a history of updates for a Flatpak to see how quickly a Flatpak tends to be updated as compared to the upstream version? That would be interesting to know in the future...

For Flathub, AFAIK you can look at the corresponding git repository: https://github.com/flathub/com.google.Chrome/commits/master/
