- mfer 7y agoThe problem with this is that is requires people to have Chrome installed. That's a awkward dependency to require for a stand alone app.
- NullPrefix 7y agoFound this in Carlo to issue 90 [2]: >If one chooses a chromium channel in the launch options, then carlo calls puppeteer createBrowserFetcher which will download the chromium revision compatible with Puppeteer or even a specific revision. sunglasses In regular ElectronJS you have the same Chromium bundled with the app. Not sure if puppeteer installs a local or system wide Chromium. 2: https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/carlo/issues/90 https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/carlo/issues/90
- petecox 7y agoWindows 10 (Edge), Chrome OS and Android all now bundle Chromium, while it's packaged in desktop Linux. That really leaves only macos. VSCode, say, as a slimmer download sans web runtime is a possible outcome.
- potiuper 7y ago"While it's packaged in desktop Linux" you are using the wrong distro(s).
