how selenium can identify if there is a browser upgraded?

Question

Since browser auto-update runs on the system unless we manually turn it off, how to automate in selenium to identify if there is a browser upgraded?

If the browser updates e.g. Chrome, you will need to have the compatible binary for that browser. There's a good answer and overview on this here.

To avoid this, I personally used ephemeral instances of Chrome, specifically SauceLabs and containerized tests using docker-selenium.
