That’s very context dependent, no? Electron removes a heap of sandbox limitations does it not?
- mwcampbell 6y agoActually it has been adding them back in the renderer process, and encouraging developers to use explicit IPC between the renderer process and the main process.
- onion2k 6y agoElectron removes a heap of sandbox limitations does it not? That's not really web dev. It's the application of web tech to something that isn't web. A slightly pedantic point I guess, but if you choose to give up the benefits of a browser you can't really complain that you don't have them any more.
- stephenr 6y ago> That's not really web dev. I didn't claim that it is. > It's the application of web tech So you can see then why I quoted the part of the parent comment that says: > If you use web tech, you get a lot of important stuff, like sandboxing, ... for free The parent didn't say "if make a web site" s/he said "if you use web tech".
