- Edge/IE: indexedDB is null
- Chrome: estimate the available storage quota, if it's lower than ~125MB, then it's Incognito

I'm looking for an experienced WordPress plugin developer to help me out answering the more technical support questions for our Mailchimp for WordPress plugin (http://mc4wp.com) on a daily basis.

Requirements are ~2 hours of availability per day, have to be good at working on your own and willing to get really familiar with the plugin and code I wrote up to a decade ago.

Rewards: Good pay, lots of freedom. No crazy requests or demands, just very consistent work.
