Are in-app browsers in Electron even secure in the first place? Does it use Chrome-style sandboxing with multiple processes, etc.? Do bugs in the Electron engine get patched in a timely fashion?
Genuinely asking here. I've never written an Electron app personally so I don't know how this stuff is done exactly, but the idea of in-app browsers in Electron apps sounds terrifying to me, security-wise.
