Having to wait for a security update to make it through the various update pipelines of all the different linux distros isn't a great situation for users either.

Installing browsers by hand in your homedir specifically so they can update themselves and you don't rely on the system package manager seems like a fairly widespread recommendation, but maybe I'm talking to a biased set of people.

Not from me to others using Fedora, the chrome you get via

    dnf install fedora-workstation-repositories

    dnf config-manager --set-enabled google-chrome

Is rapidly updated.

As a general rule I use what is in the repo's unless I absolutely can't or the version in the repo is so old that I can't.
