    Well we wouldn’t want Proton, it would be 2000x less lightweight than electron! /s

    It seems to me that Tauri is maybe a better direction to invest resources in than a direct electron-but-Firefox. Its lighter weight and better sandboxed, and can presumably be configured to run with a Gecko engine instead of a chromium-based webview. I have no idea its status, but geckoview does seem to exist.

        Proton and photon is just the Firefox browser’s GUI style. Proton is the previous one, photon is the current one where everything is bigger and curly.
