As far as I know that's not accurate and the default webview on Windows is still the old Edge based one, not Chromium.
The plans here are somewhat unknown I think, but right now you have to force the user to download and install (or bundle an installer) for WebView2 or Edge beta channel if you don't want to support old Edge.
Gtk-webkit is also quite different from Safari, you can't assume they are just the same.
- FuriouslyAdrift 6y agoThe latest WebView2 is based on Edge Chromium AFAIK. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/ https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview...
- unnouinceput 6y agoStarting from 20h2 version Edge is based on Chromium. And I remember when that rolled out plenty of people were irked by Microsoft simply automatically installing it (the new Edge Canary) without asking for permission.
