So I am making a real time chat app using MERN and socket.io but I was disappointed to discover that the newer version of socket.io ie 2.2.0 fails overtime on Chrome.
There is an issue open on the socket.io repo addressing this. Didn't they fucking test the code for Chrome before releasing a new update?

Bit on the fence about socket.io
Is there an alternative anyone is familiar with? I found a security relevant bug in socket.io (in my opinion a bad one). Reported it 2 years ago, still unfixed.

As for inside the browser, the websocket api does the job pretty well

@caffeineNcode Wait, why would I use an external party for that?!

@Tayo Thanks!
