Yeah I've seen tauri, but they're just using the glib bindings for webkit-gtk. So they're just sharing the preinstalled browser for rendering inside a webview.

My goal, compared to tauri (or webview/webview), is to offer an alternative, slimmed-down version that can be used to bundle apps on mobile and embedded devices. I mean, from a security point of view you have to assume that Edge and Chrome are compromised, so all your tauri apps will be compromised too.
So in retrokit I removed things like the massive plugin legacy in webkit, or pdfkit integrations and other stuff that was unnecessary, or webgl, or canvas, or the static geolocation API (which comes with a static copy of the ip<>geolocation database) etc.
