Google Chrome required dependancy? #121

Hi there,

Trying to run on my Raspberry Pi DNS server, which of course runs Raspberry Pi OS. When trying to do anything with WRP is errors: 'Context error: exec: "google-chrome" executable not found.

Google chrome doesn't seem to be something easily installable on Raspberry Pi OS.

I have two ideas:

  1. Chromium is more widely available in Linux repos, could this be used instead?
  2. If not Chromium, how about some other software? Firefox is far more portable on many arch's.

Thank you

WRP most certainly works with Chromium, there should no problem with this. Unfortunately Firefox is little out of scope for now. This is because WRP specifically uses chrome devkit protocol. I'm thinking about adding Firefox protocol but its little more work.

Can you please tell me what is the exact Linux distribution that you are using and where is Chromium browser located?

You can also try to run it using Docker.
