Electron is not a rendering engine. It’s an application bundler, which itself bundles Chromium and NodeJS.

This project uses native web views, like Tauri. They wrote that they might provide the option of bundling your own engine, ie like Electron, which I personally think it’s a bad idea. Tauri proved that you don’t need it.

But now that you mention it, agreed that 50MB is a lot.. maybe just standard JS dep bloat? That could be clarified.
