We found that in some cases, Fonto has issues when running in Chrome 80. As you would expect, we are on top of this!

If you experience any odd behavior using Fonto in Chrome 80, please let us know. In Firefox, Fonto works as expected. We're working on a solution. Stay tuned.

Optimized a string similarity algorithm: ~34x speedup and 0 allocations amortised. Learned a lot today.
