In the future we all will use 50 different Chromium based browsers

This is honestly what I think is gonna happen as well.

And that is a good thing too.

(we are building one -- http://git.new/browserOS)

While using Electron does indeed allow us to run web technologies across platforms, the conversation around browser diversity goes beyond packaging websites as desktop apps. Many mainstream apps are built with Electron, but that doesn't mean there isn't room for innovation in the browser space. Projects like THIS ONE (ChatGPT Atlas) attempt to integrate AI features more tightly with browsing to enhance productivity.

It's worth mentioning that there are alternatives to Electron for building cross‑platform desktop applications that are more resource‑efficient. *Tauri*, for example, uses Rust for the backend and leverages the system's built‑in WebView instead of bundling Chromium.

We may "already do" have tons of cross‑platform apps with Electron, but exploring alternatives like Tauri or even new browser engines could lead to better performance and I'm hopeful that new approaches will push the envelope further.
