2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade browser-tamer -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'4.0.3'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

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 features:
- Browser Tamer now has AI. When you click on a link, it does predict which browser you want to open it in. This is based on what you have configued to open in the configuration window.
- Browser tamer can now predict time using sophisticated AI algorithms. We know what time it will be in 5 minutes, and we can predict it with 100% accuracy. You don't need GPU or AI chip for this to work and BT still utilizes 0% of your CPU.
Improvements:
- UX: Picker menu makes it clear which mouse button to click (thanks to @rp1231 in discussion #85).
- UX: Picker would not show in the taskbar (reported by @maddada in #88).
- UX: Picker window will not resize itself, but rather ergonimically reposition browsers and profiles depending on selection. This is because jumping window size was annoying and caused some health issues for some users with epilepsy.
- Brower Tamer will now use native Windows OS window chrome instead of custom ones. This is to make it more consistent with the rest of the system and to avoid some issues with other tools that rely on native window chrome. The chrome will also adopt to the Browser Tamer theme you have selected i.e. it will be dark or light depending on your theme prevalence.
