Final changes

Before pushing any major update I tend to test all the things myself to ensure that user-facing compatibility is pristine. However, when I went on and tried engaging one of the main features of my installer - parallel installs, I began to face a problem - the extension wasn’t installing!

My guess is that Google family of browsers (Chromium, Chrome and Chrome Canary) have some protection or sandboxing, and trying to initiate an install across multiple browsers is disallowed deep inside Chrome’s code.

Another possibility is that my code is broken or the server that runs locally to install the extension isn’t configured properly. This is probably more likely, as I could’ve overlooked things.

Either way, the easiest fix for that was to disallow concurrent installs and only let users select one browser at a time to install the extension for. This works surprisingly consistently, as I wasn’t able to encounter any issues.

Thanks for anyone who keeps an eye on this project. It was more of a pain than actually something useful, but I don’t regret my efforts.

Stay creative, stay open source!
