WebView2Feedback

I like the idea of WebView2, but it seems to be abandonware. They don't fix the most obvious bugs you run into immediately when trying it out. https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/229...

Yep, and edge webview2 uses edge for the most part. Yet there's something specific to the edge webview2 runtime that makes it hard to port even if edge itself is already available on mac/linux. I think it's because it uses some windows specific APIs to expose functionalities that aren't available to regular webviews (maybe the optional process and runtime sharing?) They were planning on maybe releasing the linux port around the end of 2021, as they were prioritizing the mac port first. But I don’t think even the mac port has been released yet... So it kind of makes sense for the Teams team (ha!) to just not bother with a linux release if the runtime they are developing on isn't even on the release roadmap yet. Though I guess that makes the switch from electron even more confusing. https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/

The major issue is that there is no cross-platform webview currently. The main candidate is the official webview shipped on windows, but it is currently lacking linux support https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/645... Linux webviews like e.g. tauri are shit, they use webkit wich leads to platform specific bugs and limitations vs the tauri on windows and more importantly webkit is the new IE, it lacks so many features it's pathetic and has major performance issues, e.g. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=WebKit-W... Why can't linux distros get an official chromium webview is beyond me, and those are the same shills that continuously rant about Electron bloat..
