Bitwarden Dual License Model

Okay, it’s good they have the open source because if you rewrite the Chrome extension you can get it to load in under 100 ms after you click the button. If you use the standard Chrome extension you’re not having that happen on an M1 Max. Their stuff is far too heavy. Full JS framework to display a small box.

Any more details on this? Like did anyone build a better extension or are you just guessing?

I’d be interested in hearing about this too.

In today’s day and age I read the OP as saying that threw an LLM at the extension repo and had it reimplement/improve upon for a private fork of theirs.

It would be nice if the forked client apps & extensions also avoided BC breaks, unline the mainline clients

How could you trust a third party (or even you own promoted AI) on this?

While keeping feature-parity, right...?
