## Description

WP Color Browser uses the theme-color meta tag which is used in browsers such as
Google Chrome to customize the mobile browser. Currently WP Color Browser is only
working on the mobile version of Google Chrome because that is the only browser 
to implement the theme-color meta tag. More settings will be added to the plugin
as more browers adopt use of theme-color and other meta tags.

Documentation can be found here.

It works fine with 4.9.8, but watch out because it adds lines to your .htaccess 
file that can cause WSOD if it conflicts with what you already have in there. Easy
enough to delete the added lines.
