> But at least the performance should get better some day. Microsoft has now made the "personal" edition of Teams that is shipping with Windows 11 into one that instead of shipping a browser, uses Edge as a renderer (WebView2)
That's not shipping an entire browser. That's shipping an entire bloody OS! (edge is still stupidly deeply integrated, and I'd bet there's still old ie MSHTML gubbins in there for the enterprise crowd to cling to.)

While I mention Roblox, let me just let it be known that the win32 Roblox app, the one that Roblox pushes, uses an incredibly insecure IE webview. Roblox simply doesn't listen to feedback.
