on Node.js NPM

Features

• web-ext run --target chromium can now be used to run a WebExtension on Chromium-based browsers (by default web-ext will search and run Google Chrome, --chromium-binary BINARY_PATH can be used to run a specific Chromium-based browser, including Brave, Edge, Opera or Vivaldi) (#1392)
