### 󠀁[Good Plugin, but with no ability to provide custom text](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-but-with-no-ability-to-provide-custom-text/)󠁿

 [ivan2343](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bogdan2/) 12 de Julio de 2023

This is good plugin with really easy-to-use settings. The only missing requirement
is ability to provide custom text. For example in german, french, etc. Currently
there is no ability to customize it.

Crystal clear, low impact plugin that deflects a lot of support issues. All sites
should uses this plugin and the browser-update.org service.

Doesn’t work for IE11 which is the main reason I tried this plugin. Also doesn’t
work if the browser is using uBlock. Good idea but needs much more testing and tweaking.

But it is missing customization, I think you should be able to change the link and
the text
