gollark: Android is weirdly lacking in a bunch of features without extra apps, generally.
gollark: <@514958719784583188> You probably also can't make it in the browser because of CORS. Basically, websites are prevented from sending requests to other websites unless the one they're sending to explicitly opts in.
