@sourcesmith: Bugs like this are usually not caused by the AUR packaging process. Please use the upstream bug tracker.
There already seems to be an open issue for this bug: https://github.com/ramboxapp/community-edition/issues/2009
Okay, refreshing the tab seems to get rid of the message.
I am getting the following for the a WhatsApp service tab in 0.6.3-1:
'WhatsApp works with Google Chrome 36+
To use WhatsApp, update Chrome or use Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge or Opera.'
@jbbr: Thanks for the explanation, I wasn't aware of the possible compatibility issues.
@xsmile: Thank you for the suggestion. I also thought about that, still I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. A problem I see is, that electron in Arch repos is much more recent then the one packaged with official Rambox binaries. It's not proven to be compatible. This might work fine now, but break in the future. This has been an issue with other electron based AUR packages. It's always possible to use the "rambox" package without "-bin" which is using electron from arch repo.
In my opinion an advantage of this "-bin" package is, that it's as close as possible to the officially distributed binary packages for other distributions. Right now I don't see enough benefit or replacing parts of this with arch binaries, rather then reducing storage requirements.
Please change the PKGBUILD to use system Electron instead of the bundled libraries. This will save over 100MB. Everything apart from resources/app.asar does not need to be packaged and probably all dependencies except 'electron' can be removed. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1813792#p1813792.
Thanks for considering it.
It should be flagged to conflict with rambox, no?

As others have written, this is unfortunately the last OSS version of Rambox.
OSS alternatives:
Ferdium has very active development. It's based on Franz which is was stable fork of the open source version of Franz.
Hamsket is based on an older version of Rambox OSS.
