Vigvam is a browser extension. It is the same application as your smartphone ones. The only difference is that it lives right inside the browser, such as Chrome.

Any browser extension can be updated automatically every time you completely restart your browser. It is the first way which you can always use.

At the same time, Vigvam can be updated inside the application itself with no need to restart the browser!

How to update Vigvam without restarting the browser?
