      Discord, slack, bitwarden, steam, Microsoft teams, visual studio code, balena etcher . Anyone else know of any electron apps or heavily modified version of chrome?😄

        Teams has switched to Microsoft’s own edition of the same concept, “Edge WebView2”. Now that Edge is just being Chrome wearing a rubber Scooby Doo mask, I don’t expect the differences are vast.

        Another fun iteration is Plex’s desktop client, which uses QtWebEngine… however surprise! still the Chromium engine underneath.

        Signal’s desktop app is plain old Electron though.

        Of the ones on your list, worth noting that Discord and Slack work fine with FirefoxPWA.

            I use the shit out of Firefox PWA. I just wish Mozilla would get off their asses and make it work out of the box vs having to install a third party app.

          I do wish there were more native apps but alternatives to electron is always a good thing in my book.

          Except for Microsoft, Microsoft can stop pretending their solution is demonstrably different from electron and chromium.
