## Current Status
* This is the new GoLang/[ChromeDP](https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp) version.
* It's still lacking some features of the [older version](/old) but far surpasses it in terms of stability and usability.
* It's beta quality but unlike the old version, it's now fully supported an maintained.
* Currently works as browser-in-browser. A real http proxy mode is being investigated. Check [issue #35](https://github.com/tenox7/wrp/issues/35) for updates.
