Some Checks Have Failed or Are Not Yet Complete
Not All Tests Have Passed
This version is in moderation and has not yet been approved. This means it doesn't show up under normal search.
- Until approved, you should consider this package version unsafe - it could do very bad things to your system (it probably doesn't but you have been warned, that's why we have moderation).
- This package version can change wildly over the course of moderation until it is approved. If you install it and it later has changes to this version, you will be out of sync with any changes that have been made to the package. Until approved, you should consider that this package version doesn't even exist.
- You cannot install this package under normal scenarios. See How to install package version under moderation for more information.
- There are also no guarantees that it will be approved.
There are versions of this package awaiting moderation (possibly just this one). See the Version History section below.

Statistics
In 2023, Browser Tamer was installed by 5150 people and in December 2023 it had 561 regular users (using BT constantly for more than 7 days in a row)! This is all I can expose, as only very basic anonymous stats are reported (the fact that you have launched BT).

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
New feature
- Added support for opening links in "no container" in Firefox container mode. Thanks to @benaduggan in #69.
- LibreWolf is now recognized as a Firefox-compatible browser.

User 'corbob' (maintainer) submitted package.
chocolatey-ops (reviewer) on 04 Mar 2024 02:11:53 +00:00:
browser-tamer has passed automated validation. It may have or may still fail other checks like testing (verification).
NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.
Guidelines
Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

browser-tamer has passed automated package testing (verification). The next step in the process is package scanning.
Please visit https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/ee7071fb163ff3223d9a1b3519400b32 for details.
This is an FYI only. There is no action you need to take.

browser-tamer has been flagged as part of automated virus scanning.
Package virus scanning found that at least 1 file within, or downloaded by, the package has between 6 and 10 VirusTotal detections associated with it.
This package version cannot be approved without an exemption from a Moderator.

Hi, the count of Virustotal positives is high for this package version.
If there a known reason that this software may have a high rate of false positives, please link to the upstream documentation (for example it could be an issue or wiki) in the package description.
Then ask for an exemption and a moderator will review the documentation.
If there is not a known and documented reason, please contact the software authors to see if they have any reasons they can document.
Regards, TheCakeIsNaOH

We've found browser-tamer v3.7.3 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.
Take action:
If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.
Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.
