What? You didn't finish due to lack of "manpower"? And we need cross
transpile? Okay, i could do it for you if only i had the skills necessary
and I'm not too young (but being too young isn't neccesary for the reason
not to do it,right? I'm 17,almost turning 18 next year!)
Any alternatives in case firefox 52esr doesn't get updated to 115esr?
Especially for tls 1.3 support,since some websites require it. 52esr's tls
1.3 support  is only disabled by default,as far as i know.
