Bash Profile aliases to force upgrade web browsers installed via Homebrew cask.
Raw
brew-cask-alias-upgrade-browsers.sh
# Info: This only works on browsers installed with brew cask.
# For use in your .bash_profile .functions, .alias or whatever you want.
# Wrap it up in a function instead. Looks nicer.
# Brew don't recongnize in-app updates. So, either use in-app (faster updates) or cask reinstall.
# Remove your browsers manually (your preferences still there), and install them again with:
# brew cask install google-chrome google-chrome-canary opera opera-beta opera-developer opera-neon vivaldi webkit-nightly firefox firefoxdeveloperedition
