same error

[FritzHerbers]

@dutzi The error does not exist on Linux, but exists on Windows (macosx from OP).

on Linux Ubuntu, the chrome extension does not install (the error is not explanatory).

It's because tamper is written in python 2, this repo is really old and never got updated.

[dutzi]

Yeah, sorry about that. I did try fixing it, but Chrome's Native Messaging API is so bad I couldn't.
