Subject: A small script to switch between browser tabs.
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2022 21:48:23 +0200

Hi!

4 patches to send a small rofi script to switch between chromium-based
browser tabs.

There are node packages in it and i didn't take care of packaging all
development dependencies (node bootstrapping).

The script should also work in firefox based browsers soon.

Sorry for the double send.
In a few words, I forked the project and made it work with minimal
changes without node-chrome-remote-interface. The first commits aren't
useful for this final package anymore, although they are correct and
could still be added if wanted.
