How do you deal with zero day vulnerabilities? To me the biggest concern using browser-as-a-desktop solution is that there will be quite a lag between when Chrome patches zero days vs when it gets released.
ex) nw.js, electron.
- ZachS 6y agoWhat sort of vulnerabilities are you worried about? You're running trusted code, connecting to a trusted service via https. Not browsing arbitrary websites. I doubt many vulnerabilities would affect this.
- f430 6y ago> trusted service via https you think that would stop a zero day vulnerability? if you have browser that won't be updated for a long time and its connected to the internet, it is a huge attack surface. Unless you were running local static file without ever talking to the internet.
- capableweb 6y ago> To me the biggest concern using browser-as-a-desktop solution Then this project sounds perfect for you because it's not a browser, it's Qt5 but called via APIs that JS developers are used to.
- f430 6y agoIsn't it rendering html5/javascript like a browser would? it would be great if somebody could take time to reply and explain things in a calm logical manner without reaching for downvotes
- Aeolun 6y agoI think nobody wants to tell you since it’s something that is easily found on the linked site. To answer your question, there is no more HTML involved in this than in a React Native app. The result looks like HTML, but it’s really used to compose native OS widgets.
