I saw this on my first install:

It could help reduce spammy notifications by suppressing the notification on install and only showing it when updates occur.

    @Tyriar thanks! I hadn't considered that - we basically just check in the extension context whether we've every shown a notification for the current version. I'll see if I can detect when it's the first run, and if not, just add another flag to track this.

    @DanTup 👍 the strategy we've used for this sort of thing is to store the last version the update notification was shown, if that value doesn't exist in local storage that means it's the first run and doesn't need to show

    Good idea, that makes more sense than my flag-per-version. I think mine came from already having a "Don't show this again" option in other places that just took a key to store, so I just reused it with the version number 😄

    Thanks!
