While it was thinkable all the time, it renders me speechless, that finally somebody has put that stack under a terminal. The next big thing will be electron-based smooth-scroll, mouse-animation and finally: a 70mb beep.
- cozicoolmail 9y agoI also don't get it. Why would I want a full web browser to power my terminal? Just because we can, doesn't mean that we should...

- aandrieiev 9y agowhy bother with a cross-platform framework, then?
- TeMPOraL 9y agoYou wouldn't. It's pretty much purely a convenience for the author of the software.
- raquo 9y agoI'm just waiting for an electron based web browser.

- reneberlin 9y agoI'm speechless. It's monday today and the day just begins. I hope for better news along the way ...
- sime2009 9y agoActually it makes a lot of sense. For an electron based browser the vast bulk of it is in the HTML/CSS/JS engine just like normal, but instead of doing the higher level code and UI chrome in C++, you just use the same language and facilities which the engine itself already provides.
- jekrb 9y agoBrave is actually really good from my perspective. I use it as my main mobile browser. They're looking to add support for the p2p `dat://` protocol this year as well!
