Mangasee uses the headless module. After downloading many chapters, the /tmp/rod directory gets big.

For reference: oae/kaizoku#46

Headless chrome is cool and all, but running it solely for the purpose of execution a single javascript function is just too slow.

There are great libraries out there like Otto. So porting it would be a nice touch

When creating a new browser to be used for the sources it immediately crashes as headless.browser() returns nil instead of the actual browser.

Minimal code:

local headless = require("headless")
local browser = headless.browser()
print(type(browser))
local page = browser:page()

Output when running:

$ mangal run test.lua
nil
X test.lua:4: attempt to index a non-table object(nil) with key 'page'
stack traceback:
        test.lua:4: in main chunk
        [G]: ?

Actual error while using mangal:

Hi @metafates,

The current rod version(v0.112.0) downloads buggy chromium that crashes. Can you update it to the latest version(v0.112.3)?
