@mauve Hey! Hope you're well. Is Aggregore desktops based on chromium?

@hyro Yup, it uses Electron which uses Chromium for web rendering. But it's not Google Chrome so it's a bit less tracking heavy. the Android version uses a fork of chromium that's more "ungoogled" called Bromite.

@mauve Nice, thanks for the answer! I currently use github.com/ungoogled-software/ but I was thinking about using more Aggregore lately :) Thanks again for all your great work, keep being awesome!

@hyro TY! Yeah I daily drive desktop and mobile. I think the easiest way to get into Agregore right now is to try making lil apps in it with the scratchpad: hyper://agregore.mauve.moe/apps/scratchpad.html

It has a built in ad blocker too which should help with the out of the box experience.

@mauve Does it support regular chromium extensions? As it seems I can't access chrome://extensions. (neither aggregore://extensions)

@hyro Sadly I don't have a fancy UI for it but you can go to `Help > Open Extensions Folder` to open the folder where extensions are stored. Then any Manifest v2 extensions you extract there should load when you restart the browser. hyper://agregore.mauve.moe/docs/extensions

Sadly since a lot of chrome extensions have upgraded to Manifest v3 you might need to fiddle a bit with getting older versions of them downloaded. I usually download from github releases.

@mauve thanks again, will try that, your answers comes at an impressive lightning speed!

@hyro Ha! I just happen to be online right now for work. :P Good luck!

@hyro I'm gonna do a push on extension UX some time this summer since @akhileshthite also wants to work on an "extension store" spec for @peersky

github.com/p2plabsxyz/peersky-

Gonna finish up this new version of mobile with Hypercore support first.
