Ah, I see. Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar, I just found a bug a in
the original upstream, and while searching on the internet I found the
alternate upstream which fixed that bug, and that seemed actively
maintained.

I'll try to investigate the differences, but I'm not very familiar with
javascript, so it'll take me a while.
