>No disrespect, but I think you're either uninformed or misguided on the topic. No disrespect, but nope. Nothing you have said here contradicts what I said. Electron is not a browser. It is a toolkit that lets you use web technologies to build standalone apps. Any app can embed a JavaScript engine or web renderer and cache code from the web, even on iOS. That isn’t a special feature of electron.

  No, we don’t call any app that embeds a web renderer or uses a JavaScript engine ‘a browser’. Do you have any idea how many apps do this?

    I mean yeah, e.g. a lot of recent games use html/js engines for their UI and everyone I know says that the game's UI is a browser
    - zepto 5y ago
      Yeah, but none of them say the game is a browser.
