@mmtech2012 The SSE4 version didn't exist before, so I didn't test it. However, if AVX/AVX2 don't improve performance over SSE3, I doubt SSE4 would. The result would be a package that doesn't work for some people (whose computers don't support SSE4) and don't work any better for everyone else.

Hi and thanks for the package. you say no performance benefit from using the AVX/AVX2 versions. why not SSE4?

I tried to build this today but, unfortunately, it's attempting to download mercury-browser_122.0.2_amd64.deb which is definitely not in Alex's Git repo. I wasn't sure which file it's supposed to get as I've never used Mercury before so I shall wait to see how this is fixed and get it later.

Linux builds are pulling 121.0.2 which does not exist

This package uses the SSE3 version because benchmarks on my computers show there is no performance benefit from using the AVX/AVX2 versions.

This is an autoupdating package that attempts to download and package the latest version available.
- Rebuilding should be sufficient to package new releases.
- Check that there is actually a new release at Alex313031/Mercury.

Btw, I copied the firefox-beta-bin package build script, but didn't credit the authors in this package. They are probably should be mentioned in PKGBUILD.

Hello, I'm not interested in this package anymore. I'm disowning it now. Feel free to adopt it.
