tauri does use webview but its moving away from it in favor of a rust native solution called WRY.

  Interesting. So according to @baxrob, Tauri took over control of https://github.com/webview/webview https://github.com/webview/webview project for the past year. And now I'm told they are moving away from it. I'm left wondering why take over a project if they're going to ditch it. For lack of a better term.

    We didn't take over control, rather we helped setup an independent org around webview and other related repos. At the time, the original author of webview expressed plans to work on it a lot. However, this didn't really happen. Webview is stuck with some nasty bugs and missing features, and none of the members of the Tauri team had enough C experience to fix it efficiently. Instead, we created our own pure Rust solution (https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry). We've already given it way more features than the original webview project, and it doesn't carry the bugs that plagued webview either. The next release of Tauri (about a month or so out) will use Wry, and will have features such as multi-window and fancy window styling (frameless, fullscreen, custom controls, etc...).
