    At least five years too late.

    And the app is now so unusable that I just switched to another browser that actually works.

      Firefox works really well for me and is a nicer experience than Chromium. I don’t know what you are talking about.

    Can we just install XPI file directly offline from SD card and not from AMO? If it is not possible I am not going back from Cromite.
