Last I checked, Tauri isn't using an embedded Chromium, but the system's "native" WebView widget. Bundling a browser engine would be a step backward from that approach because it would become similar to Electron (e.g. big install size, increased resource usage when many applications run side by side - the only difference would be that the embedded browser engine differs).
- ed_blackburn 3y agoThat's a good point and I hadn't considered that perspective, thanks! A build time decision on whether to use WebView or Servo could be beneficial to some vendors but to what degree I don't know.
- _nalply 3y agoThere are pros and cons. Something like Tauri but with Servo would be independent from the system's webview but the binary would be heavyweight. Edit: A compromise would be a post-install step where some minimal code downloads something like libservo.so (for Linux) for all Servo-based apps. I am not sure about that.
