Super-lightweight Promised wrapper around `chrome.*` API to be used in modules. Prefer `webextension-polyfill` if you’re using it directly in an extension.

> Super-lightweight Promised wrapper around chrome.* APIs to be used in modules.
✅ Use this module when publishing your own micro-modules. This avoids having to import webextension-polyfill as a sub-dependency.
❌ Do not use this module if you need promised APIs directly in your extension. webextension-polyfill is much safer.
⚠️ This package isn't completely safe to use because it blindly wraps the chrome.* APIs whether it supports them or not.
Please test your module in every browser before assuming it works, or prefer webextension-polyfill.
``sh`
npm install webext-polyfill-kinda
`js
import chromeP from 'webext-polyfill-kinda';
(async () => {
// Cases where the API works
const currentTab = await chromeP.tabs.getCurrent();
const options = await chromeP.storage.local.get('options');
// Do not use chromeP when dealing with listeners, it doesn't make sense. Use the native chrome.* API`
chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(listener);
})();
chromeP will reuse the global chrome type if it exists. The suggested solution is to also install this, the types will be automatically available.
`sh``
npm install @types/chrome --save-dev
