Electron, but based on Firefox instead of chrome. Not the most appealing idea, but an interesting one. Might help move more people to essentially using Firefox

- rd07 5y agoMozilla has been trying to build an Electron alternative based on Gecko, but it has been discontinued https://github.com/mozilla/positron https://github.com/mozilla/positron

Unfortunately it wasn't well supported; trying to submit patches was always painful, and framing issues as a Firefox bug was slightly more likely to get things merged. I imagine it's easier than landing changes in Chromium (because Electron is a completely separate project), at least.
