Remove AVX2 requirement on Linux #293

The Linux build requires AVX2. The browser runs perfectly well on Windows without it. But I can't run it on Linux on the same machine.

I second this. Just got the Illegal instruction (core dumped) pulse-browser thing. Read in the older reopened issue that lack of avx2 support on behalf of my CPU is probably the reason. Please do consider removing the aforementioned requirement. Firefox-integrated browser with a smaller footprint would be a godsend on my older Arch machine.

I would merge the fix on gluon if I had the permissions, but I doubt it'll ever be fixed after seeing the readme.
