Fraterkes ◴[] No.43545366[source]
A while ago I saw someone mention that Tauri would soon also just include Chromium, because in practice using a native webview loses a lot of the ostensible portability of a browser-in-a-desktop app (they claimed native webviews can differ a lot between OS's). Maybe that was overly pessimistic

Probably you saw my rant. We are small team, rust shop and we shipped Tauri for a couple years to more than 20k users. Our application is complex and we had a lot of unpleasant debugging to do due to differences in native webviews. Linux performance was just plain bad. We switched to electron, far from ideal but overall the right decision for us at least until Tauri allows bundling of a stable browser.
