Try out this version of the Hiro Wallet - download extension builds.

🚧 EXPERIMENTAL

This PR moves the slow key stretching derivation logic from a Web Worker to the background script.

Tagging Firefox users from the issue #2014 and others. If you have time to help test this solution and affirm it speeds up unlock times, that'd be very helpful @neorrk @zommuter @friedger @fluidvoice @Hero-Gamer @pors

Closing this PR as the other attempt at speeding up the WebWorker works better

[fluidvoice]

sorry. I just got around to installing this on Firefox. It's working and navigation is faster, more responsive. I'll continue using it and see how it is.

@fluidvoice did you try the build on this exact PR or the one on https://github.com/hirosystems/stacks-wallet-web/pull/2666?

I first tried this exact PR which fixed the problem, then later I discovered and tried refs/pull/2712/merge which still had the problem. Using this, the app was overall much more responsive/fast.

I made two PRs that attmpted to fix this issue. This one, that I closed, fixes the issue on Firefox but causes issues on Chromium. #2712 has nothing to do with fixing this issue.

This build is the one we propose to merge 👉🏼 https://github.com/hirosystems/stacks-wallet-web/pull/2666
