Fast Updates

1. Introduction: Uninterrupted Evolution

While modern cyber threats can evolve in seconds, browser updates taking days to deploy is a security vulnerability. Fast Updates aims to deliver critical patches and new features to the user the moment they are developed by using Automated Stream Pipelines.

2. Technical Architecture: Atomic and Intelligent Update

At the heart of Fast Updates is a structure that targets new updates in the fastest way possible:

  • Atomic Differential Update: Obside downloads only the necessary resources. This significantly reduces download sizes and preserves bandwidth.
  • Hot-Patching Technology: Critical security patches can be injected into running processes without the need to restart the browser.
  • Background Pipelines: Updates are downloaded in the background as a low-priority process and take effect during the next tab switch or a light reload.

3. System and Performance Integration

Fast Updates works in synchronization with other speed and security modules in the Obside ecosystem:

  • Hyper Fetch Compatibility: Update packages are downloaded in seconds, even on the busiest networks, using Hyper Fetch's multi-channel download engine.
  • Smart Resources Oversight: The update process is performed only when system resources are idle or user interaction is at a minimum; thus, no performance loss occurs.
  • Download Security Control: Every downloaded update fragment is verified on the RAM and its digital signatures are checked by Download Security before being integrated into the system.

4. Technical Advantages

  • Zero Wait Time: The user is not held hostage by "Checking for Updates" screens; the system is always up to date.
  • Security Agility: Newly discovered vulnerabilities can be sent as patches to all Obside users worldwide within minutes.
  • Low Failure Rate: Thanks to the Rollback mechanism against errors that may occur during updating, the browser can always return to a stable previous version.

5. Vision

Obside Fast Updates offers a browser experience that does not just keep up with the speed of technology but directs it. By transforming security from a static state into a dynamic and living process, it ensures the user always remains on the "newest" and "most secure" version.
