SuperSU vs. Superuser

When searching Superuser in Google Play Store, TWO applications will turn up: ChainsDD Superuser and Clockworkmode Superuser. However, ChainDD has been in its old version since 2012.

So does Clockworkmode. It also ceases updating for several years. Hence, both of them are not recommended here because bugs probably exist.
