@bsclifton @rebron should we maybe move this to a P3 as we want users to have a seamless experience when migrating from other browsers? Maybe Chrome BETA doesn’t have the userbase as Chrome but assuming it’s still pretty big. Either way, I’m fine with P4 but figured we might want to get this fixed sooner than later as part of user retention efforts 👍

Might not be an easy task though as it looks like other browsers are struggling picking up other Chrome channels as well.
