    Kiwi browser is my chrome workaround, been working really well when needed. My primary browser is Fennec, a Firefox variety with fully enabled add-ons.

          Lol sorry, I was thinking of some other browser and it looks like lil fuckers will upvote anything.

          Hey, any chance you know if Kiwi will implement WEI ?

            That’s brave browser probably. They’ve been sketchy all around.

            Unfortunately no idea about WEI :-/
